Close up of 2 red squirrels fighting for peanuts

Two red squirrels plunged into a fierce fight to compete for their favorite dish of peanuts.

While a red squirrel is sipping peanuts on a dry tree, another red squirrel comes close to the idea of ​​competing for food. Shortly thereafter, the perpetrator rushed to attack the others and the fierce battle began to take place.

The rare sight was recorded by photographer Andre Morozov, 47, in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Ontario (Canada). Usually, squirrels only scare each other with very special calls or chase each other.

'I often go to the botanical garden and see squirrels, but I've never seen them so aggressive. The photos look like a war in the movie, ' said amateur photographer Andre Morozov.

Here are some pictures of the red squirrel's war:
