So cute and yet so ferocious!

This picture was taken by Liina Heikkinen, and it won her the distinction of Grand Title Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Heikkinen is only 16 years old. Like the Finnish photographer, the fox in the image, titled “The Fox That Got the Goose,” is young. Check out that bushy tail. The unfortunate goose that got got is a barnacle goose.

This isn’t Heikkinen’s first photographic rodeo. She previously won runner-up in the Natural History Museum’s 2012 competition in the category for kids 10 years old and younger, when she was only nine. Nine! She’s doing this to make me feel inadequate at 27 years old, I know it!
