Raccoon's head stuck in peanut butter jar atop a New York utility pole
|
A New York raccoon found itself in a sticky situation over the weekend. For eight hours on Sunday, the scavenger sat with its head inside a peanut butter jar while perched atop a Long Island utility pole.
The unusual sight brought out dozens of curious residents on a Ronkonkoma (rahn-KAHNK’-uh-muh) street. Children quickly nicknamed him Skippy.
Newsday says Debbie Sullivan spotted the raccoon outside her house at 7 a.m. She called Suffolk police, the town of Islip (EYE’-slip) and the state Department of Environmental Conservation. They all said little could be done.
The raccoon’s ordeal finally ended around 3 p.m. when a crew from the Long Island Power Authority came to its rescue. The jar fell off as they used a pole to grab the animal.
Skippy quickly scampered off.
