Turkish squirrel, who lost front paws, gets prosthetic set of wheels.mp4

A squirrel who was heavily injured in a wild animal trap and lost both his front paws has been given a set of prosthetic wheels. The squirrel, called Karamel, was caught in a wild animal trap in the southeastern Turkish city of Batman. Orthopedists at Istanbul's Aydin University designed the prosthetic wheels for him. One of them, Mustafa Gultekin, said they would wait for Karamel to adjust to the new device before passing on to the next phase, which would be to provide the squirrel with prosthetic limbs.
