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.
