Melissa Brandts and her husband were surprised to find a squirrel posing with them in a photo taken on holiday.
The couple had set the timer on their camera while posing at a lakeside in a national park in Canada.
Just as they were about to be captured on camera the cheeky squirrel popped up in the foreground and stole the show.
The picture was taken at the side of the stunning Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park, Canada.
Mrs Brandts said: "We had our camera set up on some rocks and were getting ready to take the picture when this curious little ground squirrel appeared, became intrigued with the sound of the focusing camera and popped right into our shot."
The picture was submitted to the website of America's National Geographic magazine.

This story is front page in most of the big Canadian dailies today. The first thing I thought is that I should post it on Free Republic — with a challenge to all the photo-shoppers. I thought pics of the squirrel popping up everywhere, like Looter Guy, would be funny. You've managed to get both Mr. Squirrel and Looter Guy in the same pic — way to go.
This nutty thread has me in stitches. Freepers exceeded my expectations, by a wide margin.

The squirrel is great, but any animal in a picture with the guy who plays president on tv needs to be a weasel.

Technically, those are douchebags, not guidos. It can be a fine line sometimes.

Show me a guido so I’ll know LOL! Mistakes like I made could be fatal!
