Raccoon invades Texas college

A raccoon apparently excited for the first day of classes showed up Monday at the University of North Texas’ College of Music.

The school in Denton, Texas, just northwest of Dallas, was invaded by the animal, which spent some time wandering the halls.

Animal services eventually captured the raccoon and released it back into the wild.

“We’re not sure her/his audition went well but an impression was clearly made,” the college joked on Twitter.

The school also requested current students suggest names for the animal, with the winning name receiving a gift card.
