Squirrels are easily some of the cutest rodents out in the world. Earlier this week, business tycoon Anand Mahindra shared a video that captured squirrels as they ran through the grassy fields and munched on flowers and fruits. This adorable video was made by popular wildlife photographer Julian Rad.
Mahindra wrote, “Pure magic. We’re so used to seeing wildlife photographers capture the majesty of powerful beasts of the jungle. Thank you, Julian Rad, for reminding us that if we only walked slowly & looked down mindfully, there are magical creatures all around us, every single day. #Friday”.
This tweet gathered over 12,000 likes and over eight lakh views.
Commenting on it, an Instagram user wrote, “Julian Rad’s enchanting photography reveals the hidden beauty that surrounds us daily. It’s a reminder that the world is full of magic if we take the time to notice.”
Another person wrote, “Your words are pure magic, and Julian Rad’s photographs capture the essence of what you said. We are so used to seeing wildlife photographers capture the majesty of powerful beasts of the jungle, but Rad reminds us that if we only walk slowly and looked down mindfully, there are magical creatures all around us, every single day.”
In March, a video that showed a leopard and a black panther, walking next to each other in the wild, went viral. In the video, the leopard named Cleo and the black panther called Saya pause to intently gaze at the camera.
Cleo and Saya look the same in height and size, this combined with their almost coordinated move gives an illusion that Saya is the shadow of Cleo. The viral clip was taken by famed wildlife photographer Shaaz Jung at the Bandipur and Nagarhole National Parks in Karnataka.
