When Igor Grishin from Russia roamed about the forest and enjoyed nature, he suddenly saw a little squirrel who rushed right up to him and grabbed hold of his leg. Igor was surprised and tried to free himself and kept on walking. But the squirrel was not going anywhere. It was a magical love at first sight and when Igor heard dogs barking nearby, he decided to take him home and adopt him as his new pet. He called him Chippie. Now they all live happily ever at Igor's house. Just take a look at these beautiful photos. Oh, and of course, there's also a cat :)

Meet Jill! Jill is a 7-year-old squirrel who was rescued from Hurricane Isaac.

Jill is also the proud owner of a tiny teddy bear that she likes to cuddle with when it's bedtime -- and the internet (including us) are melting at the cuteness of it all.

Winter is coming up and these adorably fat squirrels are all ready for it! They have just stuffed their cheeks with all the possible acorns they could find. All of them!
Mr. Geert Wegge is a nature photographer since 2013 and looking at his work would leave you asking "How did he do it" as each photo is a masterpiece, telling a story.
His amazing works include photographing wild squirrels in their most unique, magical, and playful nature.
Around 6 years ago, Weggen came across a fox in his doorstep. After giving him food to eat, the little fox started coming back to his balcony. After a few weeks, this fox started playing with Weggen's photography props. Soon after, birds and squirrels followed.
The red squirrels at his photos look like pro models and after months of gaining their trust, he has managed to photoshoot them in adorable and creative settings like riding a toy dragon, playing chess, eating a small cone of ice cream etc.
When asked how he comes up with his amazing photography ideas, he explained to My Modern Mat: "I have always been a fantasist, a dreamer. Most of the time I see things that were not there according to the people around me. I would say they were wrong. The world is a big place for dreaming and fantasy. It is one big wonder. Ideas come the whole the time and they seem to never stop".
He even built an entire outdoor studio made out of wood, trees, and of course plants. Geert has his little secret in luring the squirrels into his beautiful outdoor studio: "Food. Mostly it is about that. If I did not have food they would not come."
Check out some of his adorable photos below. For more, look into his Instagram page as well as his Facebook page.

Pusha is a cat who lives in a park in Bakhchisaray, Crimea. She came across four young squirrels who'd lost their parents, and rather than going back to her usual cat business or pushing them away like they were pesky mice, she decided to look after them. See? Cats are wonderful.
Studends all around the country are graduating these days but what about the many squirrels who reside on those campuses? Marie Romano, an alum of the University of Texas at Austin (UT), started naming the squirrels she saw at lunch when she was a student at the university and shared their personal stories, cute photos and the names she gave them on a dedicated instagram page. Now she even starts a yearbook. Check out the cutest trailer!
So right, these cute little critters are not capable of powered flight like birds or bats so instead, they glide between trees. Gliding seems quite an effective way to get from A to B with distances of up to 90 meters (295 ft) being covered. The direction and speed of the squirrel in midair is varied by changing the positions of its two arms and legs which in turn changes the tautness of the patagium, a furry parachute-like membrane that stretches from the squirrels wrists to its ankle. On top of all that, it has a fluffy tail that stabilizes in flight. The tail acts as a kind of airfoil, working as an air brake before the squirrel lands on a tree trunk or other object..Well, just take a look yourself. Via: Sharesloth
