Squirrel Selfie Doesn't End So Well

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.

Next time you think of photographing a squirrel, remember it doesn't know how to say no pictures. A teenager was in Tampa looking at colleges and spotted a squirrel.

The teen threw himself on the ground. The squirrel ran off, possibly shaking its head about paparazzi.
