Hungry skunk got into a sticky McSituation, but one officer came to the rescue

A skunk got a little too much Mclovin' for its own good.

A skunk got a little too much McLovin' for its own good.

Motorcycle officer David McKinnon of the York Maine Police rescued a skunk after it got stuck in a McDonald's McFlurry cup. Animals have a sweet tooth too, though we're all wondering how he got his head stuck inside in the first place.

It's hard enough for humans to scoop ice cream from inside the cup, so imagine the struggle for a smelly little skunk.

Once the cup was off, the animal scurried away and McKinnon couldn't believe the situation. "I've never thought in a million years...," he stated, laughing in a Facebook video. "Wow...that was a first."

The hungry skunk is probably better off digging its face in a happy meal.
