Helping a blind white squirrel find it’s way home for Christmas
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- This is a story about a very rare creature: a sweet albino squirrel. She was fully blind and had been living in a tiny cage. She deserved a better life. But would she be able to find her den in a big aviary, with other squirrels around?
Hi everyone, I’m delighted for you to meet this almost mythical little animal. I named her Polar. She has been with me for some time now and after some ups and downs she is flourishing now.
She is a Japanese squirrel (Sciurus lis). Unfortunately sometimes a white one is born. Unfortunately because they tend to have less sight. And in very rare cases, they are completely blind, like Polar. Of course I wanted to give her the best life possible.
I hope you are all safe out there.
I am wishing you a most wonderful Christmas or holiday time.
Kind of a disclaimer:
Squirrels make wonderful pets… yet, I believe animals should not be held in cages. These Japanese squirrels that are living with me would be considered a thread to nature in my country in the wild. Therefore I am not able to set them free.
If you would ever consider owning a squirrel yourself, please, before you do so, read all you can about how to take care of them first. Realise that they need you to play with them as much as you can (at least an hour per day!) and, most important, build an aviary that is as big as you possibly can afford… Before you get them.

I was so scared that the other squirriels would be mean to her but when it turned out she found a kind roommate.... MY HEART MELTED!
The luckiest
Same
of course, she's the prettiest squirrel 🐿️ they have seen 💘
@@Ella-qi5ul Yeah in nature albinos are often rejected because instinct of avoiding uncanny valley tells them to do so.
Is that Brownie her boyfriend? Cohabit? There could be babies soon.
Problem: Polar can't find her bed
Solution: Polar has five beds
Brilliant.
Modern problems require modern solutions.
Also nice for all of them so they can chose who to spend the night with. :D

hahaha so frickin funny ahahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This man is a gem. He not only does everything possible to save and care for animals. He gives them a Christmas tree with they're favorite treats wrapped around it. I cant 😭.

❤yes this is wonderful❤
“Saving one animal won’t change the world but it will change the world for that one animal.”
That's why I feed the birds and squirrels every day with one squirrel coming in the window. To give as many conscious beings a better day as I possibly can. There's a video of the window squirrel on my channel.
@@ericbitzer5247 thats so nice :) thanks for doing that bro !!
The squirrel is enjoying it's new atmosphere. Nice one👍🏻
AHHHHHHH UNDERRATED WAAAA 😭
I love that, saying! I have 11 cats.. all rescue. I've found everyone of them in my yard, or my street. I live way, way, in the country, and don't have many neighbor's (3), an they're still not real close to me. People drop them off here. All the time. Once in awhile, we'll get a doggy, but it's rare. My cats, are alot of them very old, and some have disabilities (I have 1 that is blind, and one who is missing an eye) some have bad anxiety. I am fortunate that I can stay here with them all day and night. I give them loads of affection, belly rubs, back scratches, toys and treats! I spoil them each as rotten as I can!! And plan to do it again! 🥰 I love this channel! And I just love the guy in the video, talking!! (Anyone know if he's married? Lol)
The dislikes are from squirrels that have not a Christmas tree
well said
Absolutely!😁
Lol😁👍

"Who the..... oh, its you."
She is lovely! You have so much patience.
Blind squirrels running is cuter than i could’ve ever imagine
❤🙂❤
She's so cute like that, yet my heart, when she ran against the kitchen cupboard/table!!! She runs so carefully but ofc accidents happen. She's so sweet I hope she has a happy life with the others!
I would be scared one would hang itself on that string!
@@judyabraga1883 I think they're loose enough and soft enough to fall off or to bite through. And our animal friend here wouldn't put anything dangerous for his little friends :D
@@judyabraga1883 yes,i fear the same.it happens so quick
The sad thing is that she herself can't even see how beautiful she is.
True ;-;
True
They're completely blind?
@WONG YU YIN INGRID i see they have light-sensitive eyes, that's why
Yes
Honestly, my heart nearly broke for poor Polar when I saw her sitting all alone in the cold at night, although it later just lit up when I saw her come out of her new den with her new cuddle buddy. 😊😊😊
Everyone is saying we need more people like him,but never say we need to be like him.
True
Fantastic Point 😃 Merry Christmas 🎄🙏
Its basically the same. We need more people like him... we need to be like him. Lmao just a different way of saying jt
I love your profile picture. Looks just like my beloved kitty😻
@@JenA2145 thank you!
Underappreciated detail about this story: how quickly Aka's gf decided that Polar is her new bestie. She was apparently the first to approach polar when she first showed up in the aviary, and then proceeded to invite herself over to be a nighttime snuggle buddy when Polar found herself a den on the second visit. 💕
It's aka's bf, not gf
Yes, it was the absolute cutest!!
@@murtazarashid8053 aka is the male
Aww besties
@@fusseld100 - boys can have bfs too... not sure if Aka does, but I thought that was important to mention.
Any person who loves animals would spend some time to create suitable place for them. But only the one who have really great heart would decorate a Christmas tree for them. I'm speechless! 🙏❤
The way she moves around, navigating by her hearing, her whiskers, and sometimes her paws, reminds me of my little blind cat, Button. Her eyes were destroyed by infection when she was a kitten, likely due to being born someplace dirty, before she came to us and we had to have them removed. But she's done quite well, visiting friends are surprised by how well she gets around without sight! Like how I was surprised by how spry Polar is, even jumping from aviary-wall-to-aviary-wall at times!
Awwww
Poor buttons tho :(
I know someone with a blind cat
She does well, she even gets playful and plays with the other cats!

For those of us who don't have the resources or the space to rescue or rehabilitate animals, your videos are a lifeline to compassion. Thank you!
This gentleman is so kind. God bless him and his squirrels
This doggo is so cute. god give him lots of bepis
You play rocket league?
He’s a straight up earth angel. 💕💕💕💕
Yes

Imagine all people would be like him, the world could be a paradise.
Nah, he doesn't have enough patience for people.
Some people have the patience to help animals, some have the patience to teach screeching toddlers, some have the patience to adopt, some have the bravery to rescue others from mortal danger, some have the patience to study medicine in a lab, etc., etc. In my case, I get excited by watching clouds move for ten hours straight (meteorology/weather forecasting, which is used to give advance warning about deadly weather events).
There is no one perfect person. We all need to be good, yes, but we also need to find the kind of good that we are personally gifted with.
Wholeheartedly agree.
@@r3dp9 Best speech I've ever listened
@@r3dp9 Disagree. If treating animals like this, with so much respect and as individual beings was the bare minimum baseline, imagine how we would treat other humans. Everyone should absolutely be like him!
True words in a Jungle full of lies
I know that a million ppl have said it but this man is for sure one of the most caring, thoughtful, kind and amazing man to all animals. And whenever i watch one of his vids, it just makes me so happy so i want to be just like him. He works so hard for his creatures and loves them non stop. I dont think that my admiration for this wonderful and inspirational man will ever go 🙂❤
Yeah, everytime I see one of these I want to do a little more for my animals also.
Me tooooo
Instead of saying 'we need more people like you', TRY to be the people like him.
Well that's true. And Iam happy doing it but not upto his level.
Well said, well said
Your right mate.
@@preetishkumarnayak9061 you are still doing your part, and thatd great. we need all the help we can get.. im too young to do anything legally so im waiting till im older to help
See i am too young too. I cant legally get my rehabbers perkit for another 3 years. So instead, i rehab other small animals like snakes and other creatures. And in the event of a pandemic, and everything is shut down, then i will rehab it myself.
Merry Christmas to the sweetest and purest man out there. Stay safe and stay kind, dear friend. 🤍🤍🤍

But the animals do🐩💕
Most.
She is so lucky to meet with someone so kind and pure like you. May Christmas blessings poured all over you and your beloved animals.

Never expected that a albino blind squirrel would steal my heart but Polar just did.
Looks like it’s a going to be a white Christmas after all.

Are you raci-
She looks like she can handle the big enclosure, she aced the first one almost instantly.
and the others seem to love her and will likely help her find her way around so she may get it even faster!
This man is so kind to help this beautiful squirrel. POLAR IS THE MOST PRETTY SQUIRREL IN THE WORLD ❤️♥️🐿️🐿️
*Kindest man ever seen in my life* may God bless this guy
Yes I agree
Because of you,I believe in human angels on this Earth.
Sadly, however. They are rare....
Angels like the maths angels
She’s beautiful.
He's the only one
@@samjustsam In maths it’s angles not angels lmao
Holy heck. I’m absolutely in love with pole. I’m also legally blind. I can only see out the sides so she is close to my heart. Thankyou so much for sharing her story x
I'm legally blind too. Retinitis Pigmentosa. I can pretty much see what's in front of me. My perifrial is gone and I need a lot of light.
I have a ministry called icons for the blind. They are Orthodox icons. Its on a donation basis so not trying to sell something, but email if interested. I will figure out a way to fit little Polar in the picture somehow.
I like your attitude. Does he have an ADD animal? I have a rescue dog just like me, and she is a mess (she is a danger to birbs if she gets loose.)
The way he cares for his animals is great. Like the Christmas tree was so cute
Yes it was. I loved the tree!
He does care, yet he let's impulse take over forgetting to think clearly the overall situation putting the beloved animal at risk.
Three-quarter of humanity wish you were their benevolent ruler, the rest don't know it yet
True.
I think you mean 2 thirds
No not a correction.
@@parentheses4662 Here is a video of the White Squirrel I filmed Yesterday ruclips.net/video/blfMafE0sy4/видео.html
Please explain this comment to me. I am so dull that failed to get what exactly you want to say🙏🙏
This guy deserves a Nobel Prize for being so careful and affectionate with these animals !!!
Not a Nobel prize, that prize are for much bigger things, silly child xD
I had a cockatiel that lost his eyesight when he was 27 years old and he completely adapted. There were only a couple of times we changed his aviary after his blindness, but he always adjusted after some initial fear. He lived happy, healthy, and blind until he was 37 years old. He lived that many years past the expected captive lifespan of 15 years. He passed away in 2015 and I still miss him every day.
I’m sorry
wow, that's a really long life for a cockatiel! sounds like he was a happy bird =]
Wow i am sorry he passed away but it sounds like he had the best possible life a bird could hope for if he lifed for that long
I’m so sorry he died.
This man Is too Pure for this world-
Or should you say this world is too polluted and dark for this man
😻🙂😻
@@bindudaw5176 god that's so true.
@@bindudaw5176 True 😔
This man is legendary. He cares about the animal's needs and tries his best to help them. Absolute angel.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that squirrels are not the only animals he has. He has a lot of animals and the fact that he still willing to dedicate this so much time to one of them is true kindness
Absolutely hes amazing
Yeah he deserves
When you are really passionate about something, taking time to care for it is no longer a chore but something you look forward to. This guy probably feels the happiest when he is helping these animals, truly inspirational

People for their fun, Creating a prison instead of a free environment for natural animals. Damn these people.
Ive had a big smile the whole time 😂

@@alauddinakbar9815 what do you mean? This man was helping these squirrels in many ways. If you’re talking about other people that actually abuse animals for fun, then I can definitely agree that people sometimes just be. . . not good people.
@@alauddinakbar9815 he rescued them you doofus, if it weren’t for him they’d be dead
I just found this one and what an amazing group you have built there. Your heart is the most generous and loving. You’re teaching others how to do the same so becoming a recent patreon member is a privilege. God bless you ❤
I’m binge watching your videos. Heartwarming and humbling. Thank you for all that you do.
easily one of the most wholesome and peaceful men on this planet.

Squirrels, some of the cutest and smartest creatures in the world
4:08 He was making sure that she won't fall.
Oml, this was so good. I feel so content after seeing this. I don't know why but I just want to thank you.
🤗 He's so kind.
His every video makes me so happy ☺️☺️
She is gorgeous and so lucky that she found a new family willing to accept her. This was the perfect Christmas story to lift our spirits.
I crown thee St. Francis! Patron Saint of the animals! He must be the reincarnated St. Francis of Assisi! He's such a kind, pure soul. Animals know. Love him! Love the squirrels!
I was about to comment something similar: Does the Pope know that St. Francis has returned?
@@spasticmuse4262 LOVE that too! He's amazing!
He cares about all the animals in the world abandoned,lost,scared,alone, about to die,and even the ones that have a disease or disorder. I love that about him🐥🐤🐣
You deserve an award for doing what you do (also managing to film it all, lol). You built five different dens, just for one squirrel. You stopped at nothing to save a chick from suffocating in its giant egg. You hand raised a tiny bird, even despite being like, a hundred times bigger than him. You saved a turkey from death, giving it its very own Christmas (also, because of you, my family didn't eat turkey for last Thanksgiving ❤), you humanely relocated a fox without hurting it, despite it eating some of your friends. You're such an amazing being, and need more recognition. Also, you stopped me from liking to eat birds. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. I hope you are doing well in these times, as well as you. Yes. You. Reading this message. You matter, and remember, you are loved. Happy Hanukkah. Happy Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, Happy New Year, Merry Christmas, etc. Have a wonderful week, wherever you are. Whoever you vote for. Whatever color and race. This is a time of happiness and love. Have a great night. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
Edit: Thx for responding. I want to make you guys happy, and inspire the depressed and anxious to keep going, not just to get likes. I know how much a bit of truthful kindness can mean to a person, so I want to tell you all how beautiful you guys are, inside and out. :)

This guy is so amazing with how much care he puts into the animals he invests in. It's really beautiful.
The squirrel Looks albino, most albino animals are generally more blind then other animals, like albino people most have bad eye sight but they're a beauty.
That is what he said
Thats what i thought at the start
He basically said that in the description
I live in a place highly populated with albino squirrels and it’s kinda sweet to see them all help each other
With ferrets, it's actually linked to deafness. Millie, my albino gal, can see just fine, but she couldn't hear a thunderclap if it went off two feet behind her.
Someone give this man an award
Edit: oh and, merry Christmas
More that anything
❤🙂❤
I'm pretty sure he will become one of the guardians like in rise of the guardians, along with Santa and Jack and everyone else! While Jack and Santa give joy to children in their own way, this miracle worker will give joy to all the other tiny, and big, creatures out there! Petition for this man to live forever.

Every kid should be like him....saving animals
Kids often are like that, wanting to help animals, take them in, etc. Adults are the ones who get too busy with their own lives to care sometimes and think it will be too much trouble or responsibility.
Adults too! Start by teaching kids and hopefully they’ll grow into rescuer adults.
Something I’ve started to do because of my boyfriend is checking discarded boxes and bags on the sides of the road or on the highway. We hear about lots of animals dumped boxes, so we always have to go back and check. Haven’t had to rescue any animals yet, but we’re doing our part to check out anything worrying.

I love squirrels. Thank you so much for saving these beautiful squirrels.

Nobody’s talking about how beautiful the squirrel is it’s albino and its so pretty! This man is also kind af. So glad she (the squirrel) seems to enjoy 😉
Awe such a sweet squirrel. That's a very rare Albino squirrel. Unfortunately even in the human race Albino's are usually either born blind or over time will lose their eye sight. There are Albino's in most species. They have the neatest eyes, red pupils. The most incredible pale skin. It looks like the softest skin you will ever see. Like clouds or pillows of marshmallows. Or silky white fur. One of my neighbors down the road has an Albino horse. Oh my god is she amazing. Being blind she is a bit skidish or jumpy but she is getting more relaxed and use to her surroundings. They have an amazing acreage and built everything to suit her.
I love this beautiful Friends! You are a good Soul!Thank
you!😄💐♥️👍
Fun fact: the red in albino animals eyes is blood vessels at the back of the eye. I know this because I have an albino ferret.
Doesnt Sound fun at all
@@claire7913 what?-
Yes I can see that because I have an albino rabbit.
@@claire7913 pretty sure it just means they have very little pigment in their eyes so you can see their blood vessels.

I miss my old pet squirrel eddy he lost his eyes and two of his legs to an owl who left him for dead an we got to keep him because both my parent's had a license to do so and he was always with me. all animal's are special, but when you can care for a handicapped animal it's a special feeling you get when you know they are given a longer chance to live an as long as they have enrichment.
I almost cried when he said, by touch and smell. Then he said she was blind
When I die I want to be reincarnated as one of his animal friends.
