Amazing sequence. ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Notice how the Squirrels use their tails as "targets" for the snake to aim at. :shock:

Mel - Urikaruus it is! Seems you've seen it as well?

Dewi - I hadn't even noticed the use of the tail as a decoy. Who knew squirrels are the equivalent of snake charmers (who use their flute to deflect attention) ?? Thanks for pointing that out...interesting.

Thanks for the comments RP and Flutterby.

Unfortunately never together, but the background - even if little to be seen of it - looked familiar. \O
