Raccoon ate too much and got stuck in a sewer grate, something that has happened to the best of us
Some days are good: you feel powerful, happy -- like there's nothing on this planet that you can't do. Other days, you're bloated, you're mad, and you get stuck in a sewer grate.
Such is life.
Police officers in Zion, Illinois responded to a call about a plump raccoon stuck in a sewer grate on Thursday, and sure enough, upon arriving at the scene there was a plump raccoon stuck in a sewer grate. Here is what the raccoon looked like in this moment:
We all know the feeling of being too bloated to remove yourself from the sewer, and we can all surely sympathize with what this raccoon was going through. Luckily, officials were there to save the day.
According to a Facebook post by the Zion PD, the raccoon was simply too... big boned... to be removed by the officer, so experts had to be called in from the public works department. Eventually, the raccoon was in fact freed.
Tomorrow is a new day.
