This little squirrel was up a creek without a paddle, quite literally, until one flood surveyor in Fenton, Missouri managed to rescue him with a kayak.
"I saw this little guy jump and try to swim for a bigger tree for safety but the current was just too strong," YouTube uploader Tony Weiss writes. "You can see him jump from the tree in front of me and start swimming but the current was quickly pulling him downstream. I know squirrels don't understand english but I couldn't help but yell out some positive encouragement."
