THE SECRET LIFE OF SQUIRRELS

PICKING up a tiny tea-pot with its paws, a little red squirrel struggles to prepare its morning tea. The curious rodent is obviously suspicious of its new toy and after holding the copper tea-pot above its head, the squirrel attempts to wear the prop as a hat. The playful squirrel was photographed by carpenter Geert Weggen in his garden in Bispgarden, Sweden.
