A fox has been rescued after spending nearly two days with its head trapped inside a plastic bottle.
The Scottish SPCA were called to the scene after a member of the public spotted the trapped male cub in Glasgow.
They were unable to catch the creature at first because he kept retreating into his den.
A day later, the team caught him and took the fox to Glasgow's Small Animal Hospital.
It is understood his head had been trapped inside the bottle for nearly days by the time he was rescued.
The fox, estimated to be around 12 weeks old, was kept overnight and transported to the Scottish SPCA's National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Clackmannanshire the following day.
The Scottish SPCA has since warned of the threats litter can pose to wildlife.

Animal rescue officer Ella Mackenzie said: "This fox was incredibly fortunate. Had we not managed to catch him, the injuries caused by the bottle could have become life-threatening.
"Sadly, this isn't an isolated incident. Every year, we see wild animals injured, trapped or killed by discarded litter.
"Something as simple as taking your rubbish home or disposing of it properly can prevent animals suffering in this way."
