A Hartsdale driver got an unexpected front-row seat to a wildlife showdown when a fox spent minutes circling a parked car, waiting for a squirrel hiding underneath to make its move.

Viewer video from Rockledge Road shows the fox circling the vehicle and repeatedly peering underneath, apparently tracking its next meal.

The driver said the squirrel had taken refuge under the car, prompting the fox to wait nearby.

Once the vehicle was moved, the fox wasted little time, darting in and grabbing the squirrel before disappearing into the woods.

According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, fox sightings are common this time of year as the animals become more active ahead of their winter breeding season.
