Three rescued fox cubs have been released back into the wild!
And as you can see in the video, they are VERY happy and also VERY speedy!
About four months ago, they were discovered in a small gap between two houses in Leicester and had to be saved by the fire service.
Since then, the cubs have been cared for by a charity.
And now, they've been set free!

Since the rescue, the cubs have been cared for in an outdoor pen, where they have been learning the skills to prepare them to live on their own in the countryside.
And they've been busy!
The charity said the cubs have been digging holes like they would dig a den so they knew the little foxes would be capable of building their own in the wild.
They've also been doing activities like searching for food to develop their hunting instincts.
The charity will support them for a couple of weeks until they're used to finding their own food.
Sounds like a real tail of success!
