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

Great working relationship!!! win win,squirels get food,he gets great shots
Such agile little creatures. Living in Australia it is a novelty to see squirrels' antics.
I LOVE IT ! BTW, I have no problem feeding squirrels along with the birds & other wild animals. It's calming to watch them.
favorable situation for both parties :-) good photos for human and something to eat for the squirrel
The squirrels looke like they thrive and not beeing in any trouble. And for us the scenarios looke very amusing.
A photographer with lots and lots of patience.....great little squirrels too.
Do you ever wonder why dumb@$$#! scream photo shop when it doesn't matter but like they really know anyway. May their nuts be eaten first.
Unfortunately we don't have squirrels in Oz, but I think someone should import them...These are just so cute!
Just a scream...I have a pet squirrel and they are just so unbelievable.
