SNOWCAP SQUIRREL

WITH A LITTLE cap of fresh snow resting on his head, this squirrel tries his best to pull off his new look. The squirrel emerges from the snow with what appears to be a fluffy white hat resting between his ears. The adorable fox squirrel was photographed by American photographer Walter P. Szymanski, 68, who spotted the little fella foraging in the snow in his back garden.
