Humans weren鈥檛 the only species struggling through Sunday鈥檚 time change.

BC Hydro staff were surprised by a friendly raccoon taking a nap 鈥 and helping themselves to someone鈥檚 lunch 鈥 inside a work van in Burnaby this weekend.

In a video posted to social media, the raccoon appears calm, and rather sleepy, even after being spotted basking in the sun while curled up on the seat.

鈥淗e snoozes, one of our team members loses,鈥 BC Hydro said on Twitter.

Raccoons have a bad rap in B.C. for making a mess in pursuit of the perfect meal, often being labelled as Dumpster divers, pond-raiders and garden-destroyers.

The BCSPCA says the animals aren鈥檛 dangerous to people, but can become aggressive toward injured pets.

If a raccoon approaches you, the organization recommends yelling, stomping your feet, and clapping your hands to scare it off.
