Firefighters have come to the rescue of a raccoon that got its head stuck inside a mayonnaise jar.
The Ithaca Fire Department in upstate New York said the animal was spotted in a tree during its recent predicament.
The Ithaca Journal reports both city firefighters and a state Department of Environmental Conservation officer got the animal down.
They placed the raccoon into a large plastic tub and freed its head.
Once the DEC officer determined the raccoon was not injured, it was let go. The critter was last seen running towards a nearby creek.
