This chipmunk had bitten off more than it could chew as it was snapped by photographer Richard Bishop.
The huge peanut looks ready to burst out of the side of its mouth. It struggles to keep the snack in its jaws as Bishop picked up his camera and took the snap.
He was initially given a few nuts by Bishop, but his eyes grew too big for his belly.
“I was visiting the countryside to escape the city for a summer weekend,” the 33-year-old photographer said.
“As I stood in the sun outside my friend’s cottage eating some peanuts from the shell, the chipmunk came out of the forest.
“He must have smelled or heard me eating peanuts on the deck outside and came back time and time again to take peanuts from me.”
Mr Bishop added the greedy guy returned constantly and was stashing the nuts somewhere in the forest.
“He got very close, climbing up my leg, onto my hand and the table -basically anywhere necessary to grab more peanuts from me,” he said.
