This little flying squirrel is being nursed back to health by Thai villagers after trying to fly - but plummeting to the ground. <br /><br />The creature was taking its first steps around the trees in Krabi, on southern Thailand’s west coast, but couldn't get the hang of using its wings. <br /><br />He fell to the ground and injured his legs but nine-year-old villager, Pim Jantanipa, who had been watching the squirrels in the litter picked him up yesterday (May 30).<br /><br />The girl is now keeping the squirrel, nicknamed Fly, in a cage while she nurses him back to health before releasing him back into the wild. <br /><br />She said: ''There were four other small squirrels playing in the tree. I think they were his brothers and sisters. <br /><br />''They were jumping around but this squirrel fell down. He looked like he was hurt so I picked him up and took him home. He wasn't strong so we have given him water to drink and some fruit.''
