Funtastic Mr Fox! Young cub has the time of its life sliding down quarry conveyor belt

A disused gravel quarry became a playground for a young fun-loving fox and his family.

This photograph, taken by British man Duncan Usher, shows how the clever four-month-old creature turned an old conveyor belt into a make-shift slide, before travelling down it twice.

Mr Usher photographed the amusing sight close to Bursfelde, a hamlet in the German countryside.

The 56-year-old, who now lives in Bursfelde, said: ‘One morning I arrived at the quarry and saw from a distance two young foxes playing on the conveyor belt.

‘One ran back to the top of the conveyor belt and then started to walk back down it, stopped and sat down.

‘After a few seconds it started to slide down the conveyor belt using its front paws to drag it forwards.

‘They were attracted to the conveyor belt because it was a playground to them.
