In today’s world of over-crowded cities and natural habitat areas being destroyed, wildlife is having a tough time finding a safe place to call home.

In Manhattan, one soon-to-be squirrel mama took the situation into her own paws and went scouting for a cozy place to set up housekeeping and a nursery. Much to a resident’s surprise, the squirrel made her way into his apartment by gnawing through a screen.

Squirrels are not only quick, they’re pretty smart as any NYC squirrel control expert will tell you. In the case of the mama squirrel, she moved in and took over the man’s sofa as her space to have her babies.

Unfortunately, the resident, an elderly man, attempted to remove the babies from the sofa and mom went on the attack. He was bitten and scratched, but otherwise, okay after being checked at a nearby hospital and receiving a tetanus shot.

Squirrels are creatures of habit and will return to the same location year after year especially when they find the perfect place to nest.
