Although it may never be confused with either bird or plane, this adorable squirrel has definitely got its Superman-moves right.

This fearless red squirrel was caught showcasing its 'super powers' in the treetops of a forest in Novosibirsk, Russia.

Soaring through the air from tree to tree, it seems all that was missing was a cape.
