Quote:Rescued baby hedgehog turns out to be hat bobbleBBC:
'A wildlife rescue that took in what was thought was a baby hedgehog found it was
actually caring for a bobble from a hat. It was brought to the Lower Moss Nature
Reserve and Wildlife Hospital by a well-meaning rescuer last week.
On arrival they discovered the hoglet was in fact a "faux furry friend", a volunteer for
the animal charity said. "Our hearts melted", the volunteer at the rescue, based in
Knutsford, Cheshire, added.
The rescue posted on social media a photo of the decorative ball, showing it nestled
in a box beside a bowl of food. "This adorable 'hoglet' still got all the love, complete
with some cosy TLC", the charity tweeted.
"Sometimes, even the most heart-warming stories start with a hilarious twist!"
The charity, which offers educational trips for schools and other groups, looks after
about 2,000 injured animals each year...'
Reminds me of a lady that was new to the area. Her son was holding a cute little kit. I asked her where she had got him. She said her son fond him in the backyard about an hour ago. I told her that they should be careful, because mama and the siblings are likely close by.
Imagine her shock when I told her that cute, scrappy, little kit her son was fighting to hold on to, was a bobcat.
It should not have been funny, but I think I have to accept the fact that I am a little jaded. I thought it was hilarious.
