The squirrel, called Karamel, was caught in a wild animal trap in the southeastern Turkish city of Batman.

Orthopaedists at Istanbul's Aydin University designed the prosthetic wheels.

They are waiting for Karamel to adjust to the new device before passing on to the next phase, which would be to provide the squirrel with prosthetic limbs.
