This baby squirrel suffered injuries to her leg and was separated from her mother when she fell from a tree - and she is not even three weeks old. The grey squirrel, called Violet, endured the ordeal when the branch her nest (known as a drey) was laying on was cut down. Fortunately, the couple cutting down the tree spotted Violet and immediately phoned the Wildlife Aid Foundation for advice on what to do. The foundation, based in Leatherhead, Surrey, took her in, bandaged her leg, and have been feeding her a special milk formula, similar to that her mother would have provided.

San Diego: E.T. replica rescued by coastguards
by Aishwarya Bhatt
San Diego, Jan 3 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A life-size E.T. replica has been reunited with its owner after it was stolen from her home. Rescuers received a call from a member of the public when the alien replica was found floating on the surface of the sea. It was initially feared that the figure was that of a human. When it was pulled up, it turned out to be a dummy. It belonged to 76-year-old pensioner Margaret Wells before robbers took it away from her home. Wells say the replica along with her jewelry and iron were stolen from her house last September. The police reunited the replica with Wells based on the report that she had earlier made concerning the robbery. Wells told reporters that, “The police rang and said somebody has found a body in the Solent and it belongs to you - it’s E.T. I always knew E.T. would come home. He has lost a finger and looks a bit roughed up. But he has a smile on his face.” The replica was made by Wells’ daughter. The Daily Mail reports that she took three months to finally get the replica done. The model is based on Steven Spielberg’s 1982 alien thriller The Extra-Terrestrial.
