No matter how many times I see this photo of a squirrel crashing Melissa and Jackson Brandts’ photo opportunity at Lake Minnewanka, in Canada’s Banff National Park, I always laugh. The fact that it’s 100 per cent real definitely helps.

I’m always the kind of photo terrorist who just extends his arm to take self-portraits — often winning the Multiple Chin World Record — but this photo has convinced me that I need one of these portable tripod things for my trips. [Joby—Thanks OMGPonies!]
