Caught on video: Fox steals golfer’s ball

A Massachusetts golfer lost a golf ball to a fox that was sharing the green with him.

Video posted to the Facebook shows two foxes sitting on the course near the hole the golfer was playing at Springfield Country Club.

The curious foxes watch as the golfer’s ball lands just beyond its mark, and a few seconds pass before one fox casually trots over, picks up the ball with its mouth, and scampers away almost playfully.

The Facebook post made by the country club had a lighthearted caption: “If your ball has mysteriously disappeared over the past month………we think we know why!”
