Living on a ranch in rural Alberta, Canada, Jannet Talbott may be far away from people but is never alone as she is always surrounded by animals.
The animal lover is used to the many animals, both domestic and wild, who live on her ranch and looks out for them all.
One day she was watching a squirrel enjoying a snack from her bird feeder when she noticed something unusual on his face.
“I could see there was something on the side of his face,” Talbott told The Dodo. “I got closer and thought, ‘Oh my gosh, that’s a massive tooth growing out of his mouth.’”
How about this for a Before and After!!! Bucky came by the bird feeder this afternoon for a snack. I watched him sharpen is newly trimmed incisors on a tree branch…fingers crossed he keeps them worn down.
Squirrels have four front teeth that never stop growing but their constant gnawing on nuts and seeds ensure most squirrels’ teeth are kept short. Somehow this had not happened with this squirrel and Jannet knew he was in danger.
The tooth was growing toward the squirrel’s eye and Jannet suspected he was living on powdered bird food as he couldn’t chew on anything.
