A fox cub survived being trapped in a snare for two weeks after his mother brought him food every day.
Willy, a three-month-old cub, was left with horrific injuries after being caught in the wire trap.
He was only discovered after he was heard screaming in agony on scrubland close to homes in Southend, Essex.

RSPCA Inspector Sam Garvey, who helped rescue the terrified fox, said: 'Due to the amount of time he had been there, we think he must have been fed by his mother because he was still quite chubby.
'The poor little thing was wedged in 2ft of bushes and bramble beyond a fence at the end of the garden.
'We could hear him screaming. The snare was tied to a tree and we lifted out the fence panel and cut him free.
'It was horrific. The vets have stitched him back together. The wire had cut right through his middle, right down to his bones.'
