Amazing up-close footage of majestic squirrel searching for and burying nuts in Dublin City University causes confusion over its colour

Amazing footage has been captured of a majestic squirrel going in search of and burying nuts in north Dublin.

The crafty creature was going abouts its business at Dublin City University when David Kelly spotted what it was doing.

David didn't make a sound, zooming in close as the squirrel played with its nuts and made a big hole to bury them in.

There was one thing that left David and the reporters here at Dublin Live baffled. Is the squirrel a rare red one or is it more on the grey side?

Regardless, David was breath taken by the video once he had stopped recording, saying that it was a beautiful moment to catch on camera.

He said: "I spotted the squirrel in the distance and decided to sneak up on it and press record before it noticed me.

"It was too good of an opportunity to pass. It's not often you get to see a squirrel up close and personal like this. Normally, they're gone in a flash."

So what do you think? Is this red or grey? Let us know in the comments and make sure to snap some of your best photos of capital animals.
