Some things you see online make you do a double take—and even then, you’re not quite sure if your eyes are playing tricks on you. You watch it again. And again. But it still leaves you saying, “There’s no way that just happened!”

That’s exactly the kind of moment we get in today’s video. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, along comes a squirrel who decides to take drama to a whole new level. That little rascal straight-up fakes its own death! Yes, you read that right—flips onto its back, goes limp, paws in the air like it just couldn’t squirrel anymore.

The performance is nothing short of Oscar-worthy and will leave you wondering, “Do squirrels take acting classes?”
