A wild squirrel brazenly sipped from a tourist's drink and swiped a strawberry in southwestern China.

The funny video was filmed in Kunming City in Yunnan Province on November 14, 2023.

When a man named Lu was enjoying his refreshments, a daring squirrel approached him, gradually becoming bolder and finally going as far as to brazenly perch itself on his cup to sneak a sip of his drink.

Despite Lu's protests, exclaiming "No, I still need to drink that!", the squirrel was undeterred. It was only when Lu attempted to pet it that the squirrel momentarily backed off, only to return, snatch a strawberry from his plate, and dash up a tree.

Lu captured this amusing interaction on camera during his travels in Kunming city, noting how the local wild squirrels are accustomed to human presence, making them fearless and quite the entertainers for visitors.

2023年11月14日，云南昆明，陆先生在户外用餐时，突然跑来一只胆大的松鼠，它逐渐试探着接近陆先生，然后竟然'放肆地趴在杯子上开始偷喝饮料，陆先生连喊“别，这个我还要喝”。当陆先生试图抚摸它时，松鼠这才警惕地跳开，然后又掉头回来，叼走一颗餐盘里的草莓才离开跑到了树上。
陆先生介绍，这是他在昆明旅游时拍到的一幕，这里的松鼠都是野生的，应该平常接触的人多了，它们才变得不害怕人类。当时看到这些“原住民”这么大胆地接近自己，也觉得挺有趣的。
