The fox might have outsmarted the wolf on its own in the classic fairy tale, but in real life, it can sometimes use the help of humans. That’s just what this baby fox stuck in a backyard cricket net needed, and a wildlife rescue team was more than happy to oblige.

United Kingdom–based Wildlife Aid Foundation uploaded this video of the recent ordeal. The pup was trapped in the net when the group got a call and came to the rescue.

For the foundation, calls like this are not unusual. This month the group posted another video of a fox whose tail was stuck between two panels of a fence. The tail had to be amputated before the Wildlife Aid Foundation released the fox into the night. An estimated 33,000 foxes live in cities and suburban towns in the U.K. Experts believe that there are 16 foxes per square mile in London alone.

“Britain has some of the highest-density fox populations in the world, but they cause remarkably few problems,” Stephen Harris, an environmental sciences professor at the University of Bristol, told the BBC. “There are many benefits of having foxes in urban areas, including being nature’s pest controllers when it comes to rats and feral pigeons.”

Fox attacks are rare, according to Harris. Some homeowners enjoy seeing foxes in their yards, though sometimes the animals cause trouble—chewing on car parts, making a lot of noise, digging holes, and going through trash bins. The most popular method to control foxes is using motion-activated sprinklers, which fend them off with water.

Fox-a-Gon, another organization that householders can call when they have wild, furry visitors, promotes and uses humane ways to deter the animals. After assessing the foxes’ habits, its team applies “deterrents,” such as sprinklers, to keep them off the property.

“We can’t exist in isolation,” Fox-a-Gon cofounder Terry Woods told the BBC. “Nature runs in harmony, and foxes are an important part of the ecosystem. If you start taking out what you don’t like—the squirrels, the foxes, the badgers—you end up with nothing.”
