This is the remarkable moment a curious fox decided to turn the tables on a stunned photographer.
The cunning creature experienced life on the other side of the lens after spotting the unattended camera at a campsite in the north-west of Canada.
Snapper, Michaela Walch, had heard foxes were common at the site and so decided to put some food out in a bid to entice the animals and create a picture perfect moment.
The schoolteacher fed the foxes for several days and happily took a few pictures before accidentally leaving her camera equipment unattended only to glance up and discover one snap happy creature poised behind it.
Shocked Michaela, from Innsbruck in Austria, grabbed a spare camera to capture the hilarious moment.
She said: "At first I put a few leftovers around my van so that the foxes would come close to me and I could get a better view.
"After a short time I could see five foxes. I was impressed by them because they were all so different.
"They were very suspicious at first but over a couple of days I still managed to get a few nice pictures.
"One fox seemed instantly interested in my camera equipment but I couldn't believe it when one day I looked up and saw her trying to be a photographer.
"She even tried to press the shutter and I couldn't help but laugh. It was very impressive to see though.
"Foxes are often mistaken for odious animals but they are actually gorgeous creatures and very clever too."
