Seven squirrels get tails untangled with help from Grand Blanc Township police

Ok, this is one weird story.



GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WJRT) - It wasn’t a typical 911 for Grand Blanc Township police.

Someone reported seven squirrels tied together by their tails clinging to a tree in the 2100 block of Russell Street on Friday.

Officers found them stuck together on the bottom of a tree. The young squirrels apparently became entangled with each other as babies in their nest and continued growing until it no longer could hold them.

Police say the mother squirrel watched carefully as Grand Blanc Township police officers and a civilian carefully separated all of the tangled tails.

Some of the squirrels are missing some tail fur, which officers believe will grow back eventually, but all seven appeared to be healthy when they scurried away from the scene.

3. I'm just glad they were able to separate them

I have a real soft spot for squirrels. Not sure why since they've destroyed so many of my bird feeders. I had two, last year, with stubby little tails. Not sure what happened but they seemed to thrive, although I didn't seen them this year.
