QUINCY, MA — A police officer, animal rescuer and wrestling enthusiast — who said you can't be all those things? Officer Tim Kaes, known for rescuing a baby opossum and naming it "Stone Cold Steve Opossum," was at it again rescuing two baby squirrels and naming them after wrestlers.

Kaes was off duty this weekend when he found two baby squirrels, whose mother and other siblings died. Kaes named the little critters Hulk Hogan and Macho Man. Any time Kaes rescues an animal, he gives them a name and it's usually after a wrestler.

Quincy police took to twitter to recognize Kaes, who during his time on the police force, has also saved a baby opossum and an owl.
