Where is my food?

One fine early morning, this squirrel was spotted with a big nut running away from its mate to save its food. His mate was smarter than this poor creature. Other squirrel used his tricks and snatched the food and vanished.

Not seen in this picture are its four front teeth which never stop growing. This is perfect for their omnivourous diet. This is an American red squirrel. It has a reddish fur with a white under-belly.

It has a long list of predators and I was one amongst the list to shoot at a good moment. Squirrel nests are most commonly constructed of grass in the branches of spruce trees. And thats my next target.
