There is also a video made from the still photo zooming in to the eye of the squirrel. https://www.rsok.com/~jrm/2026May31_birds_and_cats/video_IMG_5904c2.mp4. This has sometimes been called the "Ken Burns effect", although he was not the first to use it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Burns_effect.
