The wave of cold with strong storms that lashes these days to several countries of Europe left a shocking image that was viralized in the social networks: a fox trapped inside a block of ice.
The Animal Was Found on the Danube by a German Hunter.
The witness: Franz Stehle, a hunter living in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg in the south of the country, discovered the animal as it walked alongside the Danube.
According to the regional newspaper Schwäbische Zeitung, it is likely that the animal walked on the frozen surface of the Danube river and with its weight has cracked, causing its death by freezing.
The Hunter Testified:
"The block is now in front of my house, waiting for it to melt"
It seems that for the hunter it is usual to encounter this type of animal events, always under the same conditions; Said he once found a frozen deer and three or four wild boars.Definitively, the cold wave that hit Europe left more than 60 dead since last weekend.

Interesting post. Well written and informative.
This kind of occurrence is not unusual in northern Europe. What is unusual is for someone to cut such an animal out of the ice.
