Desperate Housewives Set Overrun by Critters and Creatures 3/11/06

The Desperate Housewives set has become a wild zoo during night shoots - the remote Universal Studios Wisteria Lane has been invaded by rats, raccoons and mountain lions.

Sources claim night shoots are regularly interrupted by the critters and creatures that wander onto the Studio City, California set to check out TV's top show.

One insider claims families of raccoons inhabit the trees on the street, while rats scurry around the film crew.

Another source says, "Somebody even saw a mountain lion around the craft-services area a while ago."
