OTTAWA, July 20 (UPI) -- An Ottawa man captured video of a squirrel with big dreams carrying a towel twice its own size to its nest atop a tree.

The video, shared on YouTube by user isOceans, features a squirrel on the streets of Ottawa curiously approaching a towel left on the concrete stoop of a home.

The rodent carefully grips the towel in its mouth and leaps atop a trash can to begin its escape with the loot.

The squirrel is able to carefully climb a tree with the large towel dangling from its mouth and disappears among the branches, which the uploader said conceals the animal's nest.

5. I've lost a few things from my laundry that have disappeared when I went looking for

them to retrieve them, but never anything this big. This is very cute.

on the chairs on my front porch. In the spring birds will pick up any loose hair they find on the cushions. They also pick it off the outdoor carpeting.
