The exact moment when a squirrel eating its lunch thinks "Oh Sh*t!" and realizes that *IT* is on the menu.

Yep, that is an OH SHIT moment.

The picture of the squirrel with the nut uploaded on my phone but the action didn't.

I still don't know what the preditor was and if it was successful.

I should have posted a link to the original article. The predator was a leopard.

It was an animated gif file, so like a short video. It would have been better if it ended before the squirrel ran off. The squirrel was eating an acorn, froze, dropped the nut on the ground and kept its "hands" in position as if still holding it, then it ran off.

Here is a link to the original video on Gawker. It's 20 seconds, the squirrel is near the end, watch the entire video to see the squirrels action in context.
