Quoted from @TAK17246558's post

The thing peeking out from the hole in the snow is... a wild "Ezo Sable"! It is a member of the weasel family that lives in Hokkaido. Its innocent expression with snow on its nose and its mischievous pose with its tongue sticking out drew comments such as "too cute" and "adorable", and many people were comforted by its appearance.

Photographing the rare "Ezo Sable"

The photos were taken by Tak, a photographer from Hokkaido, who also captured the lively Hokkaido sable on camera, biting into snow and playing with its mouth full of snow.

Although the Hokkaido Sable is very cute, it is actually a rare animal that is very wary and difficult to encounter. If you do find it in the forest, please watch over it from a distance.
