Such is life.

We all know the feeling of being too bloated to remove yourself from the sewer, and we can all surely sympathize with what this raccoon was going through. Luckily, officials were there to save the day.

According to a Facebook post by the Zion PD, the raccoon was simply too... big boned... to be removed by the officer, so experts had to be called in from the public works department. Eventually, the raccoon was in fact freed.
