A mischievous skunk brought traffic to a halt in Ohio after getting a soda can stuck on its head and wandering in circles on a busy main road.

“Somebody had cut the top out of a Coca-Cola can, and the skunk had poked his head inside and gotten stuck. It was over his whole snout. His eyes and everything were in the can,” said Port Clinton Police Sgt. Gaydosh.

The blinded and confused critter walked around for 20 minutes before a wildlife-control officer finally freed it.
