Thrilling video of squirrel overcoming hurdles to reach bird-feeder wins internet

An awe-inspiring video of a squirrel overcoming the obstacles dangling from the ropes in order to hijack the bird feeder has mesmerized the internet. Shared on Twitter by the user named Samanth Subramaniam, the 40-second footage depicts the rodent’s agility in successfully crossing the artificial hurdle created in the backyard to fend off the critter from stealing the food or trespassing the property. Stunned at the rodent’s proficiency, the users poured in reactions admiring the squirrel’s “Perseverance to win even in the most difficult way.” Calling the clip as “inspirational” users lauded the squirrel’s competence saying the rodent was an example that one must “Risk to win! even if you are tiny and weak.” With over 26.6k views, the footage portrays an anxious squirrel not willing to give up. It can be seen from the footage that the animal notices the hurdle that wasn’t previously there but still decides to take a bet with it. Ever so slowly, it sets its tiny claws on the green rope gently balancing itself. Although, at one point, it topples and suspends from the strings.

The background score of the video was praised by the users as they said that the clip’s “soundtracking is a masterpiece”. Bloody thrilling. Can’t wait for the sequel.

But then I spent way too much time editing and slo-mo-ing and music.” A commenter, stunned at the aerobic performance of the rodent on tightrope wrote, “Grey squirrels are the most intelligent squirrels. Their brain grows in spring and fall and shrinks in summer and winter.” You need to build something like this in your backyard 😁 https://t.co/0iSNwwDusJ — Avinash Balakrishnan (@beta_avi) June 6, 2020 Will shoot an antipodean version featuring possums and their offspring. — Wherefrom?
