"A woman who found a pregnant hare lying dead in the road performed an emergency operation to deliver its baby.
Caring Leila Goss, 25, spotted the mother hare after it was killed by a car and immediately noticed its swollen stomach.
She picked up the animal, which was still warm, and rushed her home to perform a caesarean section to try to save its young.
She cut open the hare and brought one of her unconscious litter back to life - by draining fluid from its lungs and blowing down its nose.
Leila, of Honiton, Devon, said the baby weighed just 4oz when it was born and it has never known the wild so she has decided to keep it as a pet."
