NK Border Cops Chill With Adorable Arctic Fox

This is the moment officers patrolling the border between China and North Korea unexpectedly encounter a lone Arctic fox which is thought to have been abandoned in the snowy mountains by its previous owners.

Footage going viral online with over five million views shows border officers in China’s north-eastern province of Jilin coming across the adorable Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopu) at the Tianchi outpost inside the Changbai Mountains.

Tianchi is known as Heaven Lake in English, and is a crater lake inside China’s 190,000-hectare Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve bordering North Korea.
