Pine Cone Eating Lesson

Canada, August 2012

This little Red Squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) seemed to want to learn us how to eat a Pine Cone. He stayed on its branch 2 meters in front of us (the picture is not cropped ) and looked at us before beginning to eat its meal. He stopped sometimes, looked again at us (somehow telling "did you see well how I've done that?" ), and ate again, turning the cone very fast with its "hands"...
