Anytime a wild animal somehow gets indoors, it’s almost a guarantee chaos will ensue. Luckily for a bar in Nacogdoches, one of their customers was brave enough to handle a recent animal encounter all by herself.

As seen in a clip that recently went viral, the woman snatches a wild opossum by its tail and calmly walks it out of the bar, as the rest of the bar watches in amazement.

Banita Creek Hall in Nacogdoches recently had an unwanted guest stumble into their bar, but luckily a guest took care of it so the bouncer didn’t have to.

According to People, an opossum snuck into the bar just past midnight as the bar was closing. Once guests started to notice, many started to panic, but luckily one woman decided to take matters into her own hands, picking up the opossum by its tail and bringing it back to the wild.

“Not all heroes wear capes sometimes they're a southern belle who obviously isn't afraid of anything," the bar wrote in their viral post. Now the woman is being called the “Possum Queen” and even got some free drinks from the bar for her efforts.

Next time a wild animal makes its way inside, the bar definitely knows who to call.
