BOSTON, USA: FACING-OFF at only 15-feet away this picture shows the moment a brave city squirrel tries to see off a Red-tailed hawk. This incredible photograph in an urban setting captures the eye contact between a wild predator and its prey in an amazing act of courage by the squirrel. Amateur photographer Hisham Atallah, took the eye-popping picture while exploring the Back Bay Fens urban park in Boston Massachusetts. He combined his passion for wildlife and photography by snapping this moment, which lasted for only a second before the squirrel wisely turned tail and escaped.
