You’re out in the forest doing your nut-gathering thing when suddenly one of those big, fur-less squirrels that walk on two legs kneels down and extends a paw filled with your favorite nut. So you rush over and start helping yourself until, without warning, you just freeze.
The year 2020 is already a cult classic. Officially one of the worst times in modern history, it has been showering us with unwanted gifts like a creepy admirer. Now, with safety belts securely fastened and survival kits prepped, we are on our way into its very last quarter.
No wonder our last stock of sanity is depleting daily and most of us are basically on the verge of sending our brains into one heck of an overdrive. Like this squirrel. The poor little buddy has just become the symbol of our times and an unsung hero lost in the depths of confusion, akin to so many of us.
So as soon as the video of the squirrel freezing while munching on nuts was taken in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, it started circulating on social media and went viral. It has been viewed almost 470K times on YouTube, and it's easy to get why. We've finally found someone we can truly relate to. And now, let ourselves pause and think. This video of a squirrel freezing while eating nuts is going viral.
