An icy bottom

⬆️ This little raccoon got himself into quite a predicament while crossing a railroad track. 

While straddling the rail with his little feet, the raccoon was frozen to the metal by his bottom, with a train car fast approaching.

• No one is sure how the raccoon ended up frozen to the rail, but luckily a railroad worker spotted the animal just in time. With the help of a friend and some hot water, they freed the animal in about five minutes. 

🦝 Run, raccoon, run... "He jumped off the rail and ran in the woods never looking back,” said the rescuer. “Operation well-performed. Little fella is safe now.”
