A Squirrel in the garden of Vicki Walker attempting to eat a coconut
Squirrel and the coconut, Fareham, Hampshire, Britain - 18 Aug 2008
Here's one squirrel that is certainly nuts about nuts - even the exotic coconut kind. Preparing its stash of food for winter the cunning creature had no intention of leaving this nutty prize behind. At one point it hefts the tasty treat high above its head - a feat that would surely win it gold at the critter Olympics. The miniature marvel was spotted in the back garden of Vicki Walker, in Portchester, Fareham, near Portsmouth. Some sceptics have questioned whether the story is a rather tall (bushy) tail, suggesting the coconut was suspended by an unseen piece of twine. However, Vicki insists that isn't the case, commenting that she was stunned when she saw the mini weightlifter struggling with his prize.

Acrobatic cat attempting to catch birds, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa and Botswana border - Apr 2010

Acrobatic cat attempting to catch birds, Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa and Botswana border - Apr 2010
ACROBATIC WILDCAT CATCHES QUICK BITE
This agile cat performed a stunning acrobatic routine in a desperate bid to catch a dove for dinner.
The African Wildcat had already devoured two doves at the same spot when he returned in search of a third meal.
He leapt more than 6ft through the air and demonstrated a perfect pirouette and backflip routine as he tried to grab one of the birds.
But, unfortunately for the cat, his prey got away.
The extraordinary performance was captured by photographer Jaycee Rousseau in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, which straddles the border between South Africa and Botswana.
Jaycee, 34, was driving through the park with his 33-year old-wife Suzaan when they spotted the Cape Turtle Doves by a waterhole.
Just as they were about to drive away they noticed the cat lying in wait for the doves and whipped out the camera.
Jaycee said: "We positioned our vehicle in the best position possible under the circumstances and out came the camera. Then we waited.
"And the cat didn't disappoint. He jumped, caught a dove and ate it. Then he jumped a few times without catching anything and suddenly it was all over.
"The next morning we went back to the waterhole, but the cat wasn't there. That same afternoon we went back again and sure enough the cat was there again.
"Same story. We got the camera ready and waited. He jumped and caught a dove, went into the grass out of sight and ate it."
Jaycee, who works as a banana packhouse manager on the family farm in Mpumalanga, South Africa, said the cat carried on hunting but fled when another car approached.
He added: "The car only stayed a few minutes and drove off. We waited a while and after about ten...

Grass snake spits out foul tasting common toad after attempting to eat it, Northampton, Britain - 10 Apr 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Steve Wakefield/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1316661a )
Toad In The Hole
This toad hopped away dazed but unharmed after almost being swallowed whole by a snake - before being dramatically spat back out.
The amphibian had the lucky escape after secreting a foul-tasting liquid from the warts on its back as it was slowly consumed by the grass snake.
British photographer Steve Wakefield, 53, watched as the snake writhed in disgust before regurgitating its intended meal.
At first, in a bid to avoid being swallowed, the toad puffed itself up to look larger and scarier.
However, the snake wasn't put off and simply dislocated its jaw before pouncing on the toad among reeds on the Grand Union Canal near Northampton.
Steve, who watched the minute-long attack play out in front of him, said: "I was taking a stroll along the canal when I heard some thrashing about in the reads.
"At first I thought I was looking at some kind of lizard because it seemed to have feet at the front but I then realised it was actually a toad in a snake's mouth.
"The toad tried to defend itself by excreting the substance from its back, which gives it a very bad taste.
"It went down a long way before it was regurgitated and limped away slowly.
"The snake disappeared in the reeds in the other direction."
Steve, from Northampton, added: "It was an aggressive attack with a lot of twisting about.
"I was actually worried the snake would spit it out suddenly and bite me because I was pretty close."

Crocodile attacks wildebeest attempting to cross a river in the Masai Mara national park, Kenya, Africa - 15 Dec 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Paolo Torchio/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1316862e )
Hungry Croc Takes Down Four Wildebeest
This huge crocodile managed to kill four wildebeest in an incredible show of strength as thousands of the animals attempted to cross a river during a massive migration.
In tense scenes the crafty croc emerged from the water and ambushed the herd as they ventured into the water in their search for new pastures.
The migration is a famous annual event in which the wildebeest also have to contend with lions waiting for them on the other side.
On this occasion it was the scaly predator who claimed victory over the clutch of wildebeest.
Bizarrely, instead of eating them he left the animals floating in the stream.
Photographer Paolo Torchio, 49, captured the incredible moments while on safari in Masai Mara national park, Kenya.
He said: "This was very rare behaviour and I couldn't understand why the crocodile left the wildebeest after killing them.
"It's almost unheard of and to be in the middle of such a chaotic moment is incredible. The smell, the dust and the noise is unforgettable.
"This is the most dramatic moment of migration because you can be roasting all day in the sun and then suddenly everything happens within a few minutes."
Paolo, who is originally from Turin, in Italy, but now lives in Kenya, added: "This is the moment photographers wait a lifetime to capture.
"I've never seen anything like this before and I always try to communicate as much of the emotion of the situation as possible with my photos."

On this occasion it was the scaly predator who claimed victory over the clutch of wildebeest.
Bizarrely, instead of eating them he left the animals floating in the stream.
Photographer Paolo Torchio, 49, captured the incredible moments while on safari in Masai Mara national park, Kenya.
He said: "This was very rare behaviour and I couldn't understand why the crocodile left the wildebeest after killing them.
"It's almost unheard of and to be in the middle of such a chaotic moment is incredible. The smell, the dust and the noise is unforgettable.
"This is the most dramatic moment of migration because you can be roasting all day in the sun and then suddenly everything happens within a few minutes."
Paolo, who is originally from Turin, in Italy, but now lives in Kenya, added: "This is the moment photographers wait a lifetime to capture.
"I've never seen anything like this before and I always try to communicate as much of the emotion of the situation as possible with my photos."

Gone Fishin'
When it comes to catching a salmon supper it would seem that some of these grizzlies know little more than the bear necessities.
Professional wildlife photographer Andy Rouse got to watch the hungry bears at work during a three week trip to Alaska during the heart of the salmon spawning season.
He comments: "I was on foot with the grizzlies, no safety net, no car, just completely open.
"I got very, very close and they weren't taking any notice of me whatsoever. They were just there to fish".
When it comes to landing the perfect salmon there's a certain knack, which some bears have and some do not.
Andy comments: "When fishing they wait for conditions to be right; when the incoming tide brings the salmon up the river to spawn.
"The bears basically stand in the river looking and watching for fish in the water and when they spot one they will literally charge after it.
"Some of them are really good but some are not the best fishermen on the planet and will simply charge around in circles without catching anything".
However, during salmon spawning season even the least skilled bear can't help but get a bellyful of fish.
Andy adds: "Some of the salmon runs we went to were incredible.
"At places there were so many salmon the grizzlies would just watch them swimming between their legs because they'd eaten so many. They couldn't eat anymore.
"Some of them could barely move because they were so full".
Even the youngsters were keen to get in on the act with one small six month old cub, who would normally be too young to fish, trying his paw.
Andy comments: "Spring cubs do not fish; they don't normally try, just stick close to mother. But this little guy was running backwards and forwards in the river fishing.
"The water was deeper than he was but he was so close to catc...
