LONDON, June 16 (UPI) -- A fearless squirrel with an apparent interest in photography climbed on a man's body at a London park to get a closer look at his camera.

Photographer Dave Flynn posted a video to YouTube showing his encounter with the curious and apparently fearless squirrel at a local park.

The gray squirrel climbs Flynn's leg for a closer look at his Nikon D500 camera.

The rodent jumps off of Flynn's body, but climbs his leg again moments later for a second look at the photography equipment.

"Here in my local park, the wildlife are very tolerant to humans and have no fear of interacting with us in the hope we are carrying food. None more so than the gray squirrels, who are extremely curious," Flynn wrote in the video's description.
