Squirrels pose for peanuts
A Florida grandmother has been 'bribing' squirrels with peanuts to pose for a series of hilarious photographs.
Retired postwoman Kathy Pruyn set up the scenes by strategically placing peanuts and peanut butter on her grandchildren's toys.
Mrs Pruyn, from Tampa, Florida, then photographed the squirrels riding a skateboard, playing a piano, and even pushing a wheelchair.
One comical shot shows a squirrel apparently 'singing' into a microphone while another shoots a game of pool.
She said: "I fed the squirrels after they fell out of a nest and when I released them they still came back to my garden for food.
"One day I was going through the old toys that needed throwing out and I just thought it would be funny to see the squirrels with them.
"I thought the idea of seeing what the squirrels might do with the Barbie hand-me-downs, scented with peanut butter, might be kind of interesting.
"Since they are really wild animals and live in the trees I have to hope they have a taste of hunger for peanuts or peanut butter that day.
"Sometimes they eat too fast and I can't get the picture, other times they run off with the toy and leave it in the tree."
