Hedgehog gets head stuck in tin of carrots...
 

More than one of us has got our hand temporarily stuck in a tube of Pringles, but humans are a lucky species with our arms and opposable thumbs and the rest of it.

The humble hedgehog has to lead in with its oh-so-cute face when it's feeling hungry, which can result in all sorts of bother.

This poor chap was found at the side of the road with its head stuck in an empty tin of carrots.

His rescuers actually thought he was dead at first, before cutting open the other side to let him breathe and calling the RSPCA.

The wee fella was taken to East Winch Wildlife Centre near King's Lynn, where he was eventually freed with only minor wounds.

RSPCA centre manager Alison Charles said: "Incidents like this can easily be prevented if people just picked up their rubbish rather than throwing it away, and remembered to squeeze cans together before throwing them away."
