BODYBUILDER SQUIRREL

FLEXING his muscles and staring straight at his opponent, this bodybuilding squirrel is the nuts. And with its orange tan to match, it certainly looks the part as it holds its pose in front of the camera. This cute photograph was taken by amateur photographer Ian Rentoul, 54, after a visit to The British Wildlife Centre in Surrey. 'This athletic-looking squirrel was waiting eagerly to be fed,' said Ian.
