An employee at a Pennsylvania arcade discovered an “unusual prize” in a crane game: a stowaway groundhog hidden among stuffed toys.

Employees at Meadows Family Fun Mini Golf in Duncansville, Pennsylvania, were “surprised” when they discovered a groundhog hiding inside one of their claw machines. According to The Pennsylvania Game and Game Commission posted this on Facebook on August 6th.

State game warden Salvadore Zaffuto was called to the facility after the animal got stuck inside the gaming device.

“Chief ZAFT responded and approached the vending machine, causing a wave of the stuffed animal to move, with the groundhog running around underneath and popping his head out to check on the situation,” the Facebook post read. “After contacting the vending machine company and unlocking the machine, Chief ZAFT was able to safely capture the groundhog and release him unharmed.”

Social media posts included pictures of the groundhog cuddling with a stuffed toy and the director playing a crane game.

“This guy trained at Dave and Buster's for years for this exact scenario,” one user joked in the comments section of the warden's photo.

“I would have gone bankrupt trying to get that,” another user wrote. (Related: Flashback: It's been exactly 10 years since de Blasio dropped and killed a groundhog).

The Meadows Family Fun Mini Golf held a contest to name a new local icon and mascot for the park, ultimately deciding on Colonel Custard, after the frozen custard shop on the golf course. According to Facebook post.

Employees made T-shirts with the words “Respect the Groundhog” to announce the new mascot's name.

The area where Colonel Custard was found is about 65 miles from the famous groundhog town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, home to the weather-forecasting groundhog Punxsutawney Phil.
