A teenage girl from Zimbabwe is caring for a homeless baby squirrel (松鼠) in her hair.
Abby Putterill, l6, whose parents run an animal sanctuary (保护区) 40km from the capital Harare, says that Hammy, a squirrel, climbed into her tied-up hair one day and decided to stay. The schoolgirl and her friend have been together for two months.
Hammy was just about ten days old when he was found on the cold office floor of the Bally Vaughan Wildlife Sanctuary. Abby’s mother, Debbie Putterill, who co-owns the park with her husband, Gordon, took the baby back to her home. To the family’s surprise, Hammy liked her daughter very much because he climbed onto her head and got into her hair.
Abby wears her hair in a ponytail (马尾) which she usually has tied up at the back, making a wonderful home for Hammy. Except for sleeping and showering, the squirrel and the schoolgirl cannot be separated.
Mrs. Putterill said: “He’s doing really well and is growing up so quickly. When we first found him he was lying on the floor of the office. He must have fallen out of the thatched roof (茅草屋顶). If we hadn’t taken him in, he would have died because he was only around ten days old.
The baby squirrel was nursed back to health on a good diet, getting back his strength and quickly becoming a member of the family.
Mrs. Putterill added: “When he was tiny he refused to sleep anywhere else but on the palm of my hand, but as he got older he started treating us like trees, hiding in our clothes. But one day he was playing with Abby and he managed to climb into her hair. He seemed to make himself at home and still does it now. We’ve never had a squirrel do this before and it’s really quite funny to see but he’s happy enough to lie there and watch the world go by.”
Bally Vaughan Wildlife Sanctuary was founded in the early l980s by Debbie’s mother and father, fulfilling their dream of caring for sick and injured African wildlife.
