A restless, yet adorable squirrel survives an alarming fall, in this video about how wild animals make rowdy and misbehaved pets.

The squirrel rampages a man's kitchen, as he lies filming it running around. Red squirrels are usually found in coniferous and temperate broadleaf forests, according to Wikipedia. They have curved claws and strong hind legs that allow them to leap from tree to tree.

When it feels the call of the wild, the squirrel makes a bold and desperate gesture and jumps out the window. Just when you thought the ending to this story is a tragic one, the animal simply dusts off and runs away.

The video of the hyperactive squirrel was viewed by over 350,000 YouTube users in just two days, after being featured on Reddit. The furry creature's epic dive also landed it a spot on raywj.com.
