A ground squirrel named Richardson loves to slip into his tutu and dance to Bach’s Third Brandenburg Concerto. And he’s proud enough of his abilities to show them off on YouTube.
Melissa Brandts wasn’t trying to take a photo of this ground squirrel at Banff National Park. She’d set up the camera’s timer so that she’d have a nice picture of herself and her husband, with spectacular Lake Minnewanka in the background.
She hadn’t counted on this ground squirrel hogging the foreground.
