Frantic Caller Informed The Rescuers About A Strange Unidentifiable Animal Stuck High Up In The Tree

The Krakow Society for the Protection of Animals, established in Poland, received an emergency call from a concerned citizen regarding a very urgent situation. The citizen, calling from his home, had spotted a strange-looking animal stuck in a tree near his house.

The caller was unable to identify the animal but was extremely worried that it had not moved in the last two days. Since it was stuck a bit higher, he guessed that it might be some sort of lizard.

The staff at the Krakow Society for the Protection of Animals were unsure of what it might be, but they proceeded anyway to ensure everything was all right.

When the rescue team reached the caller's identified location, they spotted a lizard-like creature lodged high up in the tree when it was pointed out to them.

“The brown creature is sitting on a lilac branch,” they shared. "The creature sits and doesn't move — exactly as the caller described. Its brown skin shines in the sun... We are looking more closely — poor guy has no legs or head."

However, that closer look revealed something entirely different than they had hoped for. The truth became clear, and it turned out that it was not a reptile at all; rather, it was not even an animal.

In reality, as it turned out upon closer inspection, it was a croissant.

It was not even a situation for the rescuers to address. "It's hard to help something that almost sweeps us off our feet," they remarked. "A laugh attack."

The only mystery was how this croissant ended up there. However, that could not be determined.

Someone might have thrown it from the adjacent building, or a bird might have brought it there. What is commendable here is the caller's genuine concern; he truly had the best intentions at heart.

He actually thought he was helping to rescue an animal. As for the rescue, there was nothing for them to do, as rescuing croissants doesn't fall within their domain (pun intended).

"We note that it's always worth reporting if something concerns you," they added. "It's better to check and be pleasantly disappointed, and sometimes (unfortunately very rarely) laugh, than to not react, which can sometimes lead to a tragedy."

The only tragedy in this particular case was that nobody got to truly enjoy the croissant.
