Squirrels are typically timid and hesitant animals who do not feel comfortable getting too close to humans or any other being as a matter of fact. Which makes any story involving an overly eager squirrel quite strange. However, there's nothing bogus about this story, and it is very much real.

One day, a man was walking through the park when all of a sudden, a squirrel popped up out of nowhere and rushed toward his direction. The man found the squirrel's behavior pretty strange and took his phone out to document the pleasant surprise he just stumbled upon.

The animal appeared as if she was eager to show the man something and even went as far as jumping on his leg! After the squirrel felt as if she got her message across, she then quickly strolled off to a nearby big oak tree. The man understood the squirrel's message, so he followed her to see what she wanted of him.

The mother squirrel found herself in a dangerous situation that put her baby in harm's way. At the bottom of the tree, the man spotted a baby squirrel with an injured leg, laying on the ground while a gray cat was observing from a distance near the bushes.

The stranger immediately understood that the baby squirrel was in danger and that the cat had something to do with it.

It became obvious that some intervention was needed, and thankfully, the man was around to provide some help.

The mother somehow managed to fight off the initial attack, but now she needed some more help.

So far, she was doing a great job protecting her baby, and calling on the man for help was the exact right call. It must have been a motherly instinct of some sort.

The man chased away the gray cat and called animal rescue.

The cat caused enough trouble already and needed something to scare him away and avert his attention from the mother squirrel and her baby.

Once the animal rescue came to the location, they checked both squirrels before moving them to a safer area of the park.

The mother squirrel and her baby needed to be in a safer area since their previous one was compromised.

The baby squirrel was named Carl after being taken care of by the rescue center workers.

The little guy avoided certain death miraculously and should be thankful for his brave mother who did everything in her power to protect her baby.

Check out the video below to know the full story:

The mother squirrel and her baby couldn't be happier that the man made the right calls and saved their lives from the mean gray cat. The mother squirrel made the right decision by choosing to ask for help from that stranger, she felt hopeless so that was her last attempt at saving her baby.

This proves the importance of helping animals in distress. They can sometimes find themselves in dangerous situations that they cannot possibly get out of on their own and without our help.
