A toothy squirrel named Bucky is once again fattening up on nuts after an Alberta woman trimmed his tusks.
When Jannet Lee Talbott spotted the critter on the backyard bird feeder at her Barrhead horse ranch earlier this week, she couldn’t believe her eyes.
The squirrel’s teeth had grown so long they curled out of his mouth and around his cheeks.
“I saw this squirrel with this huge tooth coming out his mouth and it curled right around and it was dangerously close to its eye,” said Talbot, who owns Double J Freedom Ranch.
“And I thought, ‘Oh my gosh. That’s not good. I’m going to trap this guy and get that tooth fixed for him.'”
‘He couldn’t live much longer’
