A drunken raccoon entertained people at a Christmas market in the German city of Erfurt on Saturday. The poor animal apparently indulged in too much mulled wine, and was barely able to stand.
The raccoon was "obviously intoxicated", a police spokesperson said, "however, a breathalyzer test on the animal was not carried out".
The creature was not afraid of people at all, and the rescue services, who arrived at the site easily picked the poor guy up and put it in a cage, so the animal could sober up a bit. It tried to fight back, however, but was simply too inebriated to do something serious.

And where a 'volunteer' (as my father used to call them) - Sable Palm has grown through a fork in his branches, there exists a two level luxurious raccoon suite which has been owned by the largest female raccoon in the neighborhood, and her crew of 1 year old babies - until a tougher crew comes along.
I've not kept track, but I'm sure there've been over three generatiions in the time I've "owned" this tree, which looks at me little different than it does some industrious moles.
