Fetching a tiny carrot and a head-shaped snowball, a red squirrel builds the perfect snowman. Spending the afternoon rolling up balls of snow, the adorable rodent looks content with the ice cold creation. The adorable snowy squirrel was spotted and photographed by radio company engineer Vadim Trunov in a forest in the Voronezh region of Russia. The 30-year-old, of Voronezh, Russia, says: “I was photographing the squirrel in the woods, as I find they are not as skittish or as afraid of people as they are in the city.
