The fox gets a bit too giddy...

Two playful foxes have been caught befriending a snowman.

The curious pair were photographed frolicking in the grounds of Lincoln Cathedral after snow blanketed the city on Sunday evening.

Their antics follow a recent sighting of a fox forging an unlikely friendship with an otter in Lincoln in November.

The Met Office issued yellow warnings of snow and ice in Lincolnshire from 20:00 GMT on Sunday until 11:00 on Monday.
