Officials have released some animals back into the wild after they were rescued and cleaned up following an oil spill in central Arkansas.
Crews on Monday brought a pair of raccoons and several turtles to the Bell Slough State Wildlife Management Area near Mayflower.
Their release comes more than a week after an ExxonMobil pipeline ruptured in Mayflower and spilled thousands of barrels of oil on March 29.
Oil spewed onto lawns and roadways and almost fouled nearby Lake Conway. No one was hurt, but the spill led authorities to evacuate more than 20 homes.
Officials say a number of oily ducks are being cleaned and will be released in a few weeks. More than 20 ducks and several other animals have also been found dead.
