Poor raccoon gets rescued after being stuck in peanut butter jar

We’ve heard about getting caught red-handed with your hand in the cookie jar, but what about getting caught with your head stuck in a peanut butter jar?

It sounds a little embarrassing, but that’s what happened to raccoon out wandering in someone's yard out on Long Island, New York.

The little creature was probably super hungry for some peanut butter, so he said “why not just stick my whole entire head in the jar? That’ll surely get me every last drop.”

Smooth thinking, raccoon. You didn’t think about how you’d get yourself out of there, huh?

Two wildlife rehabilitators, Cathy St Pierre and Bobby Horvath were quick to come to the raccoon's aid, according to Newsday, and St Pierre uploaded two videos of the whole account to her Facebook page.

The two saviors were able to get a hold of the hungry raccoon, and they oiled his neck up with coconut oil to ease it off.

The trick worked and as soon as the jar was removed the raccoon made a quick getaway — probably to do the same thing all over again in someone else’s yard.

“Animals will do that. If they smell something appetizing they’ll put their heads in there to get the snack and won’t have the dexterity to get themselves out,” Horvath said in the Newsweek report.

Silly raccoon, peanut butter’s for humans.
