Wisconsin squirrels freed from 'Gordion knot' of tails

Wildlife rehabilitators in Wisconsin on Thursday worked to untangle the tails of five young squirrels after they became "hopelessly entangled" in their nest.

The "Tale of Five Tails," as the Wisconsin Humane Society's (WHS) wildlife rehab program dubbed it, started when someone spotted the juvenile grey squirrels and reached out for help.
Their tails had become entwined with "long-stemmed grasses and strips of plastic their mother used as nest material," the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center wrote on Facebook.
Rehabbers anesthetized the squirrels and carefully worked to detangle the little tails — a puzzle the Humane Society jokingly described as a "Gordian Knot."
6 SQUIRRELS STUCK IN A JAM AFTER GETTING THEIR TAILS TANGLED
"It was impossible to tell whose tail was whose, and we were increasingly concerned because all of them had suffered from varying degrees of tissue damage to their tails caused by circulatory impairment," the post read.
Eventually, they were able to cut away "at the grass-and-plastic knot with scissors, being very careful to make sure we weren't snipping anyone's tail in the process" in about 20 minutes' time.
The WHS said on Friday the squirrels were "bright-eyed" and three of the five critters were "bushy-tailed," while the other two seemed to have a little less fur. Rehabbers said they'll continue to monitor the squirrels to make sure their tails have sufficient bloodflow.

I help out in my area with local rehabbers, mostly providing transport and overnight shelter for animals that need to get to specific specialists. I have worked with a lot of squirrels and bunnies and birds. This amazing photo has been making the rounds among my friends. I recently had 21 baby opossums in my jeep from a half dozen orphaned litters! Fortunately, they kept their tales to themselves.

Holy cow! How did they manage to get their tails stuck like that? Thank goodness they were able to get them freed.
