Videos of squirrels having fun and interacting with people attract a lot of eyeballs on the internet. Their innocent behaviour and adorable antics warm people's hearts.
A squirrel was recently caught on camera trying to eat a groundnut. It shows the swift and agile gnawer trying hard to crack the outer shell but is unable to succeed. The squirrel even inserts the groundnut in its mouth, but the struggle to break it open continues.

Suddenly, it spots the camera shooting the act. After a brief pause, the squirrel turns away from the camera and continues its struggle with the groundnut. Finally, realising that this is a tough nut to crack, it puts the nut in the mouth, grabs another and flees from the sight.
The video has been shared by Buitengebieden on Twitter with the caption, "Stop watching me."

"I don't like people watching me eat either!" said a user. "Stop judging me!" posted another.

The video received more than 2.6 million views and over 1 lakh likes after being shared.
Both humans and animals are being impacted by extreme temperatures these days. Many of us leave a bowl of water outside our homes or on rooftops during heat waves in an attempt to help them.
