Squirrel Photobomber Steals the Scene

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce the greatest photo on the internet.... the Crasher Squirrel.

Melissa Brandts and her husband stopped to take a photo using their camera's self-timer while vacationing in Canada. Intrigued by the sounds of the camera, a curious ground squirrel came over to check things out and popped into the frame right at the perfect moment. With a photobomber is a lot cuter (and classier) than the typical culprit, the couple's photo is not at all ruined -- in fact, we like it 1000x better. Update! Crasher Squirrel enters meme territory! He's popping up on the red carpet, in classic photos... everywhere!

Depending on the camera, it could have been set to continual focus it will keep on focusing until the shutter is pressed all the way, even when using the timer. So it is absolutely possible that the squirrel is in focus and the background is out of focus.

What's wrong with you people? This animal is quite obviously an Asian Elephant - note the smaller ears as compared to its African relative.

Sarah... what grade did you get on that paper?

You can tell by the way they are laughing, they could see the results of this picture coming. That is too funny. I believe it is real, even if not focused correctly.

I think you can tell by the way they are laughing, they could see what the end result of the picture was to come. I believe it is real, and the best photo bomb I have seen yet. Too funny.

Who really cares what it is or how it got in the photo or WHATEVER! It is a cute photo and I can see how this could happen. Enjoy the little things in life and don't complain so much!

It's a martian come to steal our precious moments and work into our psyche by creating dissent on the proper way to address a rodent.

I agree about the camera focus being on the 'martian-planted squirrel, instead of the couple in the background. However, I am ignorant of modern-day camera technology, having owned SLRs for over 25 years. My opinion then is not techno-updated.

There's more to the story - turns out that animal was not in the foreground but sitting beside them. All that was found later at the site were human remains and the camera. there has been a massive cover up.
