But when the other squirrels get close to the box, the squirrel jumps out of it like ‘Jack In The Box’ to protect his stash of food.

The squirrel was filmed at the Little Lakeland Caravan Park in Norfolk by a 58-year-old retired flower shop owner, Julie Malleson and her 60-year-old husband, Adrian.

Adrian, from Kings Lynn, said: “It was guarding all of the food to itself. It kept popping its head out when another squirrel went near the box.”

“He looked like a Jack in the box. We found it funny and couldn’t stop watching. It was a beautiful shot. I have never seen anything like it. It’s amazing to see something like that.”

The couple was staying at the Little Lakeland Caravan Park in Norfolk for seven days. They said they fed the squirrels during their stay.

Andrian said: “It was such an unusual thing to get on film. We were just lucky to spot it when we did.”
