See cute ‘little critter’ saved from semi-truck’s engine compartment in Colorado
A cute “little critter” was found stuck in the engine compartment of a semi-truck, photos show.
So an animal services officer jumped in to help the tiny creature, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office said in July 21 social media posts.
“The baby raccoon was sleeping (these guys are nocturnal) and wasn’t exactly happy about being woken up, but it eventually grabbed onto the catch pole and was pulled out safely and unharmed,” the department said. “We’re happy to report the raccoon was returned to its natural habitat.”
Photos show the tiny little critter inside the engine compartment and then latching onto the red rubber end of the catch pole with its little hands.
“How adorable!” someone said.
The department has been in control of the county’s animal services for a month now, according to the post.
“Since then, our officers have responded to more than 100 incidents involving dogs, cats, rabbits, foxes, snakes, and raccoons,” the department said.
