A woman received more wildlife visitors than she bargained for in Washington.
According to NBC News, the woman — who has not been named — was forced to call the police after her yard was swarmed by about 100 raccoons.
Per the outlet, police told NBC affiliate KUSA on Monday, Oct. 7 that the woman from Poulsbo, Wash. began feeding local raccoons 35 years ago, but had never experienced any issues until recently.
“Somehow the word got out in raccoon land and they all showed up to her house expecting a meal,” said Kitsap County Sheriff spokesperson Kevin McCarty.
On Thursday, Oct. 3 the woman called 911 after the animals prevented her from entering her home.
