Police in Colorado rescued a skunk that had gotten its head stuck inside a Chick-fil-A cup over the weekend.
The Arvada Police Department in Arvada, Colorado, posted a video of the rescue on social media Monday.

"Lucky for skunk the Chick-fil-A milkshake cup came off easily and the healthy skunk rambled off into a culvert to sleep off his sugar rush."

When she gets close to the skunk, she turns towards the other officer who’s holding the camera and says, "It’s one of those rounded ones."
The other officer confirms that the cup is for milkshakes.

The officer slowly backs away from the skunk, which raises its tail and takes one or two steps towards the officer.
But as she gets farther away from the skunk, it puts its tail down and runs in the other direction, the clip showed.
