Outfoxed by his dinner: Hungry cub gets stuck as he leaps head first into the snow to catch a vole.

  • Photographer Steve Hinch, 44, took photos on the snowy plains of Yellowstone National Park in the United States
  • The bushy tailed fox spots a vole and is seen leaping for his prey before diving head first into the frozen surface
  • But instead of emerging with a tasty meal in its muzzle, the fox came back empty handed - and a little red faced
  • Photographer Steve Hinch, 44, took the pictures on the snowy plains of Yellowstone National Park in the United States. He said he could see the fox's  ears twitching back and forth trying to pinpoint the location of the vole

    Once the fox had pinpointed its prey, it leapt up and dropped down face first into the snow attempting to pin the rodent with its nose or paws

    Captured jumping high into the air, the bushy tailed fox is seen leaping for his prey and then diving head first into the frozen surface

    With its tail pointed towards the sky, the striking young fox is buried beneath the sheet of white. However, instead of emerging with a tasty meal in its muzzle, the fox came up empty handed looking a little red faced
