Curious fox cub gets head stuck in peanut butter jar, hero storms to the rescue
LONDON -- We all know from children's books and folklore that foxes are curious by nature.
When the cub (pictured above) happened upon a large jar of peanut butter in a cemetery in Salisbury, UK, it obviously couldn't resist the scent.

Kevin Drew, founder of local wildlife rescue service Creatures in Crisis, discovered the creature struggling to get free.
"We had a call about an animal banging around at the crematorium," Drew told the BBC. "They thought it was a kitten banging its head against a gravestone.
"You couldn't get your finger between the jar and the animal's neck it was on so tight but we picked it up and brought it home and managed to cut the jar off."
He went on to say the fox is "doing fine now" and will be released in three months time.
Drew shared the photos on the Creatures in Crisis Facebook page, where people were quick to praise his actions.
Mashable has reached out to Drew for comment.
