Cute Wild Squirrels Show Off For The Camera

Did you know that January, 21 is the National squirrel appreciation day? Yep, that’s right. These red-tailed witty forest animals won the popularity among humans due to their fun character and cute appearance. They’re just adorable and so fun to watch, especially in their natural habitat or in our backyards/parks when they’re trying to charm people for food. Your average squirrel is a world-class acrobat, a local forest bandit and small park thief, ‘best fur coat’ award-winning animal, the cutest-looking nut muncher all in one.

Squirrels are one of the great studies for photographers, who want to improve their wildlife photography skills or capture fun shots of squirrels among people. Little munchkins constantly try to gather as much food as possible (probably because they lose up to 25% of their winter stock to other forest thieves like birds or neighboring squirrels), but they’re also extremely playful and energetic. Some of the animals, who moved from their natural habitats to town parks or people’s backyards are so used to humans that they don’t mind approaching people and taking the treats from their hands. Sometimes they may get quite demanding.
