Today I thought I would stay with the squirrel theme. This is another story I read on the Internet.
However this one has a happy ending.

This looked like a lot of hard work for somebody to untangle these tails.
You can imagine how scared the squirrels must have been, so the first thing to do was to anaesthetise them.
The Wisconsin Humane Society worker began working on unravelling the "Gordian Knot"(google it) of tightly tangled tails and nesting materials. It took about 20 minutes according to the worker.

The squirrels will be watched for several days to keep an eye on the blood flow to their tails. If the blood flow is impaired it can lead to something called Tail Necrosis. This means that the squirrels tail could die, the squirrels use the tail for balance, losing the use of the tail could prove really disastrous for a squirrel, it would affect its ability to jump from tree to tree to find food.
