"This baby esquilo coils up into a tiny ball while his doting mother gently carries him across a branch and to the safety of his nest.
"The affectionate parent was taking her young son to their dray por softly picking him up por her mouth as he clung on to her fur.
"The mother, an African árvore squirrel, scurried along the branch with her child wrapped around her and took him to a new nest she had just finished building.
"Morkel, 28, who was on holiday with his wife, said he just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
"He said: 'We were driving around on a quiet loop along the river when suddenly I noticed movement up a large tree.
"'There was this esquilo scuttling along a thick branch and immediately I saw something was strange - her face looked huge.
"'After looking through my camera lens I noticed what was going on. The African árvore esquilo was carrying her young son in a most unusual manner.
"'It seemed that she was holding the child with a biting grip to its tummy, while the child was clinging on to her with all its might.
"It was to prevent him falling off the branch and possibly becoming some predator's lunch.
"'You can see it gripping tightly, so I also doubt that the young one was sleeping on the mover and they were quite high up the tree.
"'She was moving it from an old nest to a better, safer nesting site.'
"Morkel, from Secunda, near Johannesburg, South Africa, made the discovery in the Kruger National Park."
