I don’t think I need to explain who the Crasher Squirrel is – but for those that may have been living under a rock for the past couple of months, here is a quick overview. The Brandts are taking pictures of themselves in Banff National Park. While doing so, a curious Columbian Ground Squirrel pops up in front of the camera. The Brandts – using a wireless remote – snap a picture with the squirrel and send it to National Geographic Weekly for a photo contest. From there the photo goes viral around the world appearing in newspapers, on TV and all over the Internet. It’s so popular people have pasted the squirrel into a number of different pictures. A quick Google search will net you TONS of results. Now that wily squirrel has found its way onto the iPhone.
