Simba reunited with owner Robin and brother Narby

The cheeky chap was spotted in the Bow Lane building by county council staff, who thought he was a soft toy - until he moved.

Following an appeal on social media, the ferret, named Simba, was returned to his relieved owner Robin, who has another ferret, Narby.

Lancashire County Council tweeted: "Today little Simba was reunited with his brother Narby and his relieved owner Robin. We think he may have been trying to research his family tree! #ferretsreunited."
