CGTN

Jiatang Grassland, nestled in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Qinghai Province, is home to an internet sensation. The Tibetan fox, though not conventionally beautiful, has captured hearts worldwide with its endearing square cheeks, beady eyes and perpetually poker-faced expression.

As summer arrives, young Tibetan foxes embark on a crucial survival journey across the vast plateau. Their diet, essential for growth and development, includes pikas, rodents and even the formidable marmot. But when a tiny fox encounters a giant marmot, a thrilling standoff ensues.
