A teenage girl from
Zimbabwe is rearing an abandoned baby squirrel - in her hair.Hammy was just
days old when he was found on the cold office floor of the Bally Vaughan
Wildlife Sanctuary.
Abby Putterill, 16,
whose parents run an animal sanctuary 40km from the capital Harare, says Hammy,
a mopane squirrel, climbed into her tied-up hair one day and decided to stay.
Abby's mother Debbie
Putterill, who co-owns the park with husband Gordon, took the baby back to her
home.To the amazement of the family, Hammy made for her daughter, climbed on to
her head and snuggled in to her hair.Abby wears her hair in a loose ponytail
which she usually has tied up at the back, making a wonderful home-from-home
for Hammy.
Barring sleeping and
showering, the squirrel and the schoolgirl are practically inseparable.The
schoolgirl and her furry companion have been together for two months - and he
is thriving.
