This is the hilarious moment a squirrel hiding in a box of nuts jump out like a ‘Jack in the box’ to protect his stash of food.

The cheeky squirrel was filmed trying to keep a whole box of peanuts to itself by hiding inside it and jumping out when other squirrels get close by.

It was filmed playing hide and seek at the Little Lakeland Caravan Park in Norfolk.

Retired flower shop owner, Julie Malleson, 58, captured the clip during a week-long break with her husband, Adrian, in March.
