GRAPEVINE (CBSDFW.COM) — Late last week during the heavy rains, four baby raccoons were rescued from inside the engine of a car at Park Place Motorcars Grapevine.

Workers noticed something moving when they opened the hood of a car, which was damaged underneath. They immediately jumped in and started removing parts of the engine. The Park Place team pulled the baby raccoons safely from the car and put them in a box.

Another worker bought a cage, pillow and some milk for the hungry little critters until a wildlife rescue organization picked them up. The organization will raise the babies and eventually release them back into the wild.

This isn't the first time the dealership has rescued wild animals from inside cars, according to a press release.

In 2011, workers saved a red-tailed hawk that was caught in the grill of a Lexus and a kitten that was trapped behind the front grill of a car in 2015.
