The squirrel was found in the thick fleece on one of Elizabeth Dilworth's sheep at her Suffolk home
A baby squirrel was found "nesting" in the thick woollen fleece of a sheep in Suffolk, its owner said.
The squirrel was in the neck area of a domesticated Herdwick sheep in Capel St Mary, near Ipswich.
The sheep's owner took the squirrel kitten to the Wildlives rescue centre at Thorrington near Colchester.
Centre owner Rosie Catford said: "We've had a lot of young squirrels in, but we've never heard of anything like this."
'Something moved'
Liz Dilworth, a primary school teacher in Stratford St Mary, said she found the squirrel when she was checking the collar of her sheep Max.
"Something moved in the wool on his neck," she said.
