This is the moment a curious fox went walkabout in a quiet, country village.
The inquisitive cub was seen rambling around a car park in Clogherhead, Co Louth, just before the weekend and locals reckon he is well used to human company.
One said: "He's not a bit shy.
"We saw him towards the end of last week foraging for food and he came within a couple of feet of us, so he's obviously used to people.
"He may be too young to understand the dangers though, so we hope he's OK.
"At one point he found a few scraps of food on the ground and was tucking into them."
"The beautiful creature was spotted on its own, just yards from Clogherhead beach.
