How cute is a fox drinking flower nectar?

A photographer recently spotted an Andean fox, also called a culpeo, sipping nectar from a chagual flower in the mountains of Chile.

While this fox drinks, pollen from the flower sticks to its furry snout. If the fox carries the pollen to more chagual flowers, it might help the plants reproduce. But scientists need more information to know for sure.
