Melissa Brandts and her husband set the automatic timer on their camera for a romantic snap at the idyllic Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park, Canada – only for the squirrel to sneak into the pic at the last minute.
The squirrel has since gone on to become an international star after the snap was uploaded onto the National Geographic.com website, inspiring a deluge of Photoshop tributes.
Sites like Bussfeed.com have been flooded with doctored pics showing the attention-seeking rodent crashing iconic images like the Last Supper and the moon landing.
Mrs Brandts said: "We had our camera set up on some rocks and were getting ready to take the picture when this curious little ground squirrel appeared, became intrigued with the sound of the focusing camera and popped right into our shot!
"It was a once in a lifetime moment - we were laughing about this little guy for days!"

I had a dog that would do that. We would always shoo her out of pictures so she went to stealth mode.
Whenever the pictures would come back, we would giggle. Almost every picture... at least part of her was somewhere in the background
LMAO...the Mr tato one's the best...
That is too funny.....
That's great. I love how stuff like that takes off on the net.
Autofocusing lens focused right in on him. Amazing.
