Superman comic books and movies have been around for quite a while now, yet it appears that it took some time for this squirrel in Novosibirsk, Russia to take a liking to them.

Still, once the squirrel decided that Superman is simply the best hero ever, it had no choice but try and act just like him.

The picture above shows the squirrel flying from one tree branch to another. Granted, it lacks Superman's red cape, yet the cone it carries in its mouth more than makes up for this outfit failure.

According to Daily Mail, the animal was caught on camera by Andrey Chernyh, who very much enjoys tracking down squirrels and taking pictures of them while they are displaying such entertaining behaviors.

“It looked so spectacular, the squirrel reminded me of the real superman as it looked like it was flying through the forest,” the photographer told members of the press.
