The Terror in the Trees.

I saw another interesting creature story in the news recently. It seems a man in Germany called the police and said he was being menaced by a baby squirrel which wouldn’t leave him alone. The boys in blue (or whatever colour they wear in Germany) came to the rescue and took the little terror in hand, and then passed it to an animal welfare group who took it away for some tlc. The drama ended well and there were no wrecks and nobody drownded.

One of the rescuers explained that if a baby squirrel loses its mother it will sometimes approach a human seeking help and food, and went on to say ‘it can be a bit scary.’ Can it? Here’s a picture of just such a creature. I do hope the posting of it won’t cause any sensitive person out there to suffer nightmares.
