Man Catches Squirrel In His Backyard Playing With A Ball

We might not realize it, but all animals enjoy a bit of playtime. It’s not just for baby animals or dogs.

Other grown adult animals enjoy a little bit of fun every once in a while too. One Redditor managed to capture the sweetest footage of a grown squirrel living its best life.

The squirrel was definitely enjoying life to the fullest when it decided to stop and play ball for a bit in the Redditor’s backyard.

Based on how adorable the video is, we’re so glad it did. The Reddit user, known as @allmyquatloos, posted the clip they took to the Reddit thread, MadeMeSmile, and it certainly has made a lot of people smile since.

According to the Redditor, they were engaged on a business call for a bank meeting. As one does when on an important call, you start to look around at your surrounding environment.

That is when the Reddit user noticed something moving outside in their backyard. Allmyquatloos looked closer and was surprised to see that it was a squirrel!

But the squirrel wasn’t just moving around in the yard, it was actively engaging in playtime with a child’s toy ball that had been left outside.

The Reddit user watched in amusement as the squirrel gleefully jumped around with the shiny blue ball, tossing it and bouncing on it – clearly having the time of his little life.
