Just a funny clip from Carlsbad, California of a wild squirrel desperately trying to grab a chip (French fry) from a man's hand.

The poor little rodent is so keen to get the tasty treat that it begins to paw at it frantically.

Eventually, the man stops teasing the animal and gives it a chip, which it devours in seconds.

The amusing moment was captured by a Russian exchange student back in 2015 but has only recently surfaces online.
