Police in Germany rescue man being chased by baby squirrel
Officers in Karlsruhe arrive to find man unable to shake off tiny rodent
German police have rescued a man after he called for help saying a baby squirrel would not leave him alone.
Emergency services received a call on Thursday from the man, who claimed he was being chased down the street by the tiny animal.
Police in Karlsruhe said the unnamed man called them in desperation after he was unable to shake off the small rodent.

Officers sent a patrol car out to investigate and arrived to find the chase still in full flow. But the drama ended suddenly when the squirrel, apparently exhausted by its exertions, lay down abruptly and fell asleep.

Officers took pity on the animal, which had probably become separated from its mother. Police said it likely targeted the man because it was in search of a new home.
“It often happens that squirrels which have lost their mothers look for a replacement and then focus their efforts on one person,” said Christina Krenz, a police spokeswoman.

There is a monstrously large skwirril in the communal garden.
When I first noticed it my eyes were a bit blurry and I genuinely thought it was chunky tomcat for a second.

I thought this might be a wig related thread.
I don't think I've ever seen a squirrel in the wild. My only squirrel related experience was being encouraged to put nuts out for them due to the snow, and going out in my little Wellingtons to do so.
I'd love to have a red squirrel visit my terrace. He or she would be very welcome to use it as a base. I can offer total safety, warm appreciation, and generous hospitality.
