He's just nuts for yoga! Red squirrel caught in variety of poses as he 'works out' in park

When you spend your days running up and down trees and hunting for nuts, it is important that you get your stretches done properly.
This squirrel appears to have taken the advice to heart as it was caught 'doing yoga' in a park in Lyon, France.
The ginger climber can be seen stretching high towards the sky - and even practicing some 'anti-gravity yoga' from a tree trunk.

Stretch and pull: The squirrel has come up with his own version of anti-gravity yoga, preferring to dig his claws into a tree rather than hang from the ceiling in a hammock

But it later came over all shy, burying its head in its hands and tucking it towards its chest as it sat on a tree branch.
Thanh said locals often visit Parc de la Tete d'Or to feed the squirrels.

Yoga-t to be kidding me: You might think this is just the squirrel curling up into a ball - but as a matter for fact, he is prepping for his cat pose

Drop it like its hot: There is no stopping the squirrel now, as he heads down the tree trunk in full speed
