Squirrel and crow battle over discarded slice of pizza

Feb. 7 (UPI) -- A squirrel holding a piece of pizza and a crow engaged in a lengthy chase throughout a neighborhood in Canada.

The squirrel can be seen enjoying its slice of pizza on a street in Nova Scotia, as the theiving crow swoops in to swipe the newfound snack out of its grasp.

In hopes of defending its meal, the crafty squirrel attempted to hide behind the wheel of a nearby parked car to avoid the lurking crow's beak.

After a few seconds, the squirrel decided to sprint along the street toward another parked vehicle, dodging the crow on its way, all while holding on to the precious pizza slice.

Unfortunately for the squirrel, the crow persisted in its chase and managed to follow it behind a nearby building.

The recording ends as the pair disappear behind the green building and it is unknown whether the squirrel was able to make it out of the encounter with its meal intact.
