A couple of raccoons in West Virginia are not rabid, they're just "drunk," police say.
Officers in Milton, West Virginia, United States. Upon finding the fury creatures, it "turns out they appear to be drunk on crabapples," the department said in a Facebook post.
Police warned residents to be aware of the staggering and disoriented animals.
Officers were able to catch them, and they received calls and returned them safely to the woods, the department said.
The case of these raccoons is not the first time "drunk" animals have caused a stir in a community. In October, birds in Gilbert, Minnesota, were acting "tipsy" – flying into windows, cars and staggering down streets, police said. The department said those birds had eaten berries that were more important than usual because of an early frost.
