Fighting is a usual pastime for squirrels and is done for a variety of reasons, from asserting dominance to playing. ALBORZ, IRAN. THIS SQUIRREL looks like it is blessing its fellow rodent like a bona fide preacher. In one image we see one squirrel holding its hands up whilst the other bows at its feet, akin to the movements of a priest during a religious ceremony. Another adorable snap shows one squirrel appearing to embrace the other whilst kissing the other squirrel on the forehead. These playful shots were captured by Iranian photographer Vida Shams (31) and were captured in Alborz, Iran.
