Fox Kit Rescued from Can

(YouTube link)

You’ve seen videos of animals with their faces stuck in food cans and other containers many times. What makes this one different is how tiny this fox kit is, and how adorably cute his little face is when we finally get to see him! This was from a few years ago, and those who know say the kit’s mother came and got him not long afterward. -via Daily Picks and Flicks

Notice how the frog blinks and retracts his eyeballs into his head when he finally gulps the caterpillar? He does that to help him shove the food down his throat. I'm glad humans don't have to do that when we swallow.

I've heard of parasites that get into ants or snails and make them climb to the tip of grass blades or plants, which gets them eaten by birds or other predators which incubate the offspring of the parasites in their bodies and then excrete them where ants or snails will then get infected. They call them Zombie Parasites I think. In fact, I may have learned of this right here at Neatorama.

This behavior looks exactly like that to me, but if a parasite can 'sense' a predator from inside the host I am at the same time impressed and really really scared.

Any Neato-Biologists or Neato-Zoologists care to comment on this?
