'''Squirrel in a mouse trap''' is a [[screamer]] video uploaded by ishaan sharma on June 19, 2015. | |||
The video shows some live footage of a squirrel cautiously approaching and investigating a spring-loaded mousetrap.

The original footage of the squirrel was uploaded to YouTube as ''Squirrel Owned By Rat Trap!'' by goodvidsable on January 11, 2012. It starts with some introductory text, saying that the creator of the video was dealing with a rodent problem in their bedroom and therefore eventually bought a rattrap to deal with the problem. However, the trap ended up being mysteriously sprung with no catch, so the creator decided to install a video camera in the closet to see what's going on. | The original footage of the squirrel was uploaded to YouTube as ''Squirrel Owned By Rat Trap!'' by goodvidsable on January 11, 2012.

There is also a six second Vine video featuring the footage of the squirrel setting off the trap with an excerpt of the ''What's This?'' song from ''Nightmare Before Christmas'' in the background, as a joke. | There is also a six-second Vine video featuring the footage of the squirrel setting off the trap with an excerpt of the ''What's This?'' song from ''Nightmare Before Christmas'' in the background, as a joke.
