What happens when you give a squirrel a GoPro? Probably exactly what you expected, but that doesn't make it any less funny.

This video has gone viral, but it's just one of YouTube user Viva Frei's experiments baiting a squirrel to play with his camera. In this one, he attached bread to lure in the star of the video.

Frei's series of videos, though, are already a thing of the past. In a video posted Saturday, the squirrel left the camera in the tree, and it took six hours to get it down. Frei said that was the last time he let a squirrel play with his camera.

The video above is approaching 1 million views about a week after it was posted.
