GoPro captures life from squirrel's perspective
Here's what it looks like to climb a tree like a squirrel.

Ever wonder what it would be like to climb a tree like a squirrel? Thanks to a YouTube video from Montreal native David Freiheit, we now know.

Freiheit left his GoPro next to a tree in hopes of having a squirrel nab his camera. He was able to have his GoPro taken by a squirrel not once but twice in one day. In the first video, the squirrel climbed up a tree with the camera facing its body. In the second video, the squirrel held the camera facing forward, giving its point-of-view perspective. Both times Freiheit was able to retrieve his camera from the animals.

This is not the first time Freiheit had his GoPro taken by a squirrel. In April he shared a video of a squirrel taking his camera from a picnic table.
