Normally I'd agree with you, but in this case I think it's the sunlight shining on the fox and pebbles. Someone posted another pic where you can see it's sunlight.

Another example of the use of greater-than-life color saturation (more subtle that the parent post) is the photography of Galen Rowell (who I had the good fortune to know). His fantastic 'Mountain Light' photography featured highly saturated film and heavy burning/dodging in (analog) print-making.
As a biologist involved in photography for many moons, this is obviously artificial coloration. Back in the film days, there was a debate over Kodachrome 64 vs. Velvia 50. Magazine publishers wanted the eye-popping color of Velvia, whereas my mentors stuck with Kodak for fidelity to actual colors.
Film photography is still around, btw, but the choice of emulsions is pretty different today. And they're expensive 😅
Anyone want to make an offer on an excellent condition Nikon F4S? I haven't used it in decades, but I'm glad some people are keeping the art of analog alive.

Briefly top of the AF pile, before Cannon ate Nikon's lunch. I bought the F4S and a couple of prime lenses around 1990 from my aforementioned mentor, who switched a mortgage-level investment in Nikon gear for Cannon.
