This is the story of Rob Sri Lanka’s squirrel’s hand, how he was rescued after his mother left him alone in the desert.
BBC Wildlife filmmaker Paul Williams found this little squirrel as he walked through the woods. He assumed the pet was dead before he saw the shock of life.
After wrapping the abandoned pet in the heat, he left it in a safe place by the tree, really hoping that his mother would find him. When he checked early in the morning, however, the beautiful baby animal was still there.
It is not clear why his mother abandoned him, but he could be caught by a predator.
It was then that Williams fired the big guns, telling the rest of the BBC Natural History crew to use their modern thermal imaging cameras to search for possible squirrel nests in the trees.
After they could not find any kind of find, this adorable squirrel joined the film crew.
To help the adorable newborn regain its rigidity, Williams fed him a syringe full of milk.
Palm squirrels feed their moms for about 10 weeks, which is why Rob relied so heavily on the film crew to feed him as he did comfortable resting places.
However, Williams finally had to say goodbye. He has returned to the UK, leaving his wild pet in a classic Sri Lankan hotel that will no doubt feed him until he is ready to leave.
