Teeny-weeny baby squirrel wearing a teeny-weeny purple cast

This 3-week-old gray squirrel suffered bruising to her leg and was separated from her mother when she fell from a tree last week. The squirrel, named Violet, endured the ordeal when the branch that held her nest 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 the English town of Leatherhead, took Violet in and have been feeding her a special milk formula, similar to what her mother would have provided.

Interspecies love

A squirrel appears to give a toy dinosaur a kiss. The squirrel eyed up the plastic prehistoric toy on a garden table before moving in to give it a hug. It then leant over to plant a kiss on its mouth - all the while cradling the T-Rex's head. But the inter-species romantic attraction has a simple explanation. Photographer Elliott C Nathan had placed a seed in the dinosaur's mouth. He explains: "I took these photos in my yard in Boulder, Colorado. I spent about half an hour getting the squirrel to trust me with seeds then I started putting them onto things. He was careful about the dinosaur at first, but finally his hunger got the best of him and he went in for the kiss."
