After barely escaping the ax, four young orphaned squirrels are getting a new lease on life from an animal lover who is feeding them and preparing to re-wild them. Isa Acar, who is engaged in the wood trade in Adiyaman, southeastern Turkey, was sawing at a tree one day when he stopped, surprised to notice that there was a tiny squirrel back in a tree hollow. Seeing that there were in fact four baby squirrels in the hollow, orphaned and needing care, Acar took them to Mahmut Coban, also known as "Birdman Mahmut," a local known for taking care of needy animals. Coban started to feed the four exhausted squirrels using a baby bottle. Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Coban said that when the squirrel kits – as young squirrels are known – were brought to him, they were clearly both hungry and thirsty.
