On the occasion of International Yoga Day, a clip of a “yogi” squirrel is doing rounds of the internet. Shared by IFS officer Susanta Nanda on Twitter, the hilarious clip of the rodent performing "Pranayam"  has left many wondering if it was a fan of Indian yoga guru Baba Ramdev.

'Inhale blessings' 

The short video starts by showing the posterior of a grey coloured squirrel which could be seen swiftly moving its tail up and down. As the rodent turns towards the camera, one could then see it rapidly inhaling and exhaling as if it is indulged in some kind of yoga. Meanwhile, Nanda, who shared it earlier today, in the caption asked users to “inhale blessings and exhale gratitude”
