SQUEEZING their furry faces through a hole in a tree, a trio of curious baby squirrels leave their nest for the first time to explore their surroundings. Peering carefully out of the opening, one by one, the squirrels scout the area before scrambling back inside their den. The cute peekaboo display was caught on camera by photographer Rick Tomalty in his garden in Orford in Quebec, Canada.
