That’s Just Nuts
A man called police in Karlsruhe, Germany, for urgent help: he was being chased by a wild animal. When officers arrived the animal was still chasing him — a baby squirrel. Shortly after their arrival, the exhausted rodent fell asleep, and police posted a photo to social media of “Karl Friedrich” snoozing in a nest of paper towels. A police spokeswoman said young squirrels will often fixate on a person if it has lost its mother. “It can be pretty scary,” she said, and the man “was certainly feeling a bit threatened.” The animal is being cared for by an animal rescue organization. (RC/BBC) ...And the man was set free to fend for himself.Original Publication Date: 12 August 2018
