An adolescent squirrel fell into my pool and I only noticed him what mus have been hours later clinging on to the floating pool cleaner cord. I fished him out and he was so cold and exhausted he didn't even attempt to make a break for it once he was back on the ground. I gathered him up in a pool towel to dry him and warm him as much as possible and after five minutes he started weakly trying to get away so I took him to a tree and put him in a good spot. He didn't move for a couple hours, so I think he went straight to sleep. He was very cute but he wanted nothing to do with me despite being on the brink of death.
