A photo op with a squirrel that went awry has left a teenager flustered but unhurt.
Seventeen-year-old Brian Genest, of Auburn, Maine said Thursday he saw what appeared to be a friendly squirrel on a hand rail while walking through John Chestnut Park near Tampa, Florida. He was on a trip looking at colleges.
Genest took a selfie of himself and the squirrel. But the flash and noises from his camera phone scared the squirrel, which climbed under his shirt and hung onto his back before scampering out.
