"Every animal knows its place in the world, except human," remarked one user.

"Yes, especially when one (me) is a big-time fan of squirrels... I can simply sit and watch them for hours," said one user.

One user had a story of his own to tell: "The bird seems to be angry as the squirrel makes a mocking face as he holds that mushroom. Haha... soothing indeed ... good post."IANS
