Squirrel in New York seen drinking coffee

This was the moment a man in New York spotted an inquisitive squirrel drinking from a takeaway cup Wednesday evening (September 26).

Distin Glick of New York was walking through Manhattan on 31st Street and 10th Avenue when he spotted the rodent drinking from a plastic Dunkin' Donuts cup.

Glick said: "Yesterday on my way to a work event in the city with two coworkers, I noticed that squirrel drinking from the coffee cup and had to take a pic, and my coworkers told me to take a video instead. I had to leave to get to a meeting on time but the squirrel showed no sign of stopping."

He later added: "Definitely more charming than the usual NYC rat sighting."
