Everybody Needs A Hobby of the Day

Everybody Needs A Hobby of the Day: A squirrel sucks face with a dinosaurs in a photo that Redditor ecn04002 says took him 45 minutes to snap:

I had to get him close to the table with a trail of seeds… slowly trusting me as I would move around him. Then got him to climb up the table where his precious seed was waiting for him… his only requirement was a cross-species kiss.

Passing the time: You’re doing it weird.
