A heartwarming video of a man playing banjo for a wild fox has gone viral again after resurfacing on social media. The uploaded video features a man standing on a hillside playing his banjo while a curious fox approaches him. As the man continues to play, the fox appears to listen intently, sitting just a few feet away from him.
He continues to play his banjo, unafraid of the fox who sits in front of him to listen to him play, and appears pleased to see how the fox enjoys his music. While patiently listening to the beautiful tune being played, the fox moves his ears and looks around. The wild fox then moves around the man and sits down in front of him again while the man continues to play the tune.

The video was originally posted on Andy Thorn's banjo player YouTube channel. He posted the video on YouTube several years ago. "After your summer tours are finished, you're testing out some new material on a fox, and they come back for an encore," the original video caption reads.
Pubity has now shared the video, which has resurfaced as a topic of discussion on social media. It got captioned, "Swipe ?? What a wholesome encounter ? (Via: @_thornpipe_) Like this content? Follow us for more ??."
Thorn is shown playing his banjo against a beautiful mountain backdrop at the beginning of the video. In a matter of seconds, a wild fox appears and sits in front of him. Before the animal departs, the artist plays a lovely tune and serenades it.
The video, however, does not show everything. The fox quickly returns and sits in front of Thorn, begging him to play more music. He briefly stops playing after being surprised by the incident, but quickly picks up the banjo and resumes entertaining the fox.

The video quickly gained popularity online, with 1,573,307 likes and millions of comments, and many people commented on how peaceful and calming it was to watch. Some even suggested that the fox may have been enjoying the music just as much as the man was enjoying playing it.
