June 18 (UPI) -- An animal control officer in Connecticut who responded to a report of "an animal crying in the woods" ended up rescuing a baby raccoon wedged in the crack of a tree.
The Bethel Police Department said on social media that an animal control officer, assisted by three police officers, responded to the wooded area and were "expecting the unexpected."
"They found a baby raccoon stuck in the crack of a tree, looking like it had made one very poor life decision," the post said.
Officials wrote the baby raccoon was doing "more squeaking than a toddler on a sugar rush," but was successfully freed from the tree without injuries.
