Squirrel Tries To Steal A Carved Pumpkin From Photographer’s Backyard

ADVERTISEMENT

British photographer Max Ellis (whom we wrote about previously here) is a pro at capturing brilliantly staged shots of wild squirrels. When he noticed that the suspended Jack O’ Lantern in his backyard was attracting the attention of a squirrel, he got to work snapping these delightful photos.

Ellis gets the squirrels to post for photos like these by leaving them treats in places that will force them to interact with his props. In his previous interview with Bored Panda, he stressed that the squirrels were never harmed in his photos and that they were probably “much better fed than any other wild squirrels on the planet!

    There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

    Such agile little creatures. Living in Australia it is a novelty to see squirrels' antics.

    It is wonderful that Max Ellis, instead of killing, keeps them alive and shares them with others who do not look favorably on those who kill

    I LOVE IT ! BTW, I have no problem feeding squirrels along with the birds & other wild animals. It's calming to watch them.
