One of the worst things to ever happen to a squirrel has happened to this squirrel.
Ajeet Vikram, the amateur photographer who captured the devastating moment a squirrel dropped its nut, said the critter had just scurried up a pole when tragedy struck.

With NBA legend Michael Jordan’s amazing 56,000-square-foot Chicago-area mansion set to hit the auction block next month, Bulls fans have been buzzing with curiosity about the massive estate.
