Cute Raccoon Sleeping in My Chair

This is "Baby Bear" who is a friendly adult that has been coming around since late spring 2011 either at dusk or early dawn. His favourite place is to lounge on our terrace dining chair.

FYI: Groups of raccoons use our terrace as part of their thoroughfare on their way to and from home. Baby Bear is just one out of a handful of raccoon families who enjoy stopping by to play and lounge on our large terrace.

We are fortunate to be able to observe a variety of wildlife since we reside next to a protected preserve where raccoons are one of the many animals consider it home. I photograph and make video recordings to identify each as well as study their behaviours. We hope you will also enjoy watching this video of the close encounter of our charming furry friends.

Please note that none of the raccoons are our pets thus please follow your local wildlife guidelines for the safety of humans and animal wildlife alike.

Additional note: I'm very well aware of the dangers of interacting with wild animals since I professionally work with a variety of dangerous wild species. No children nor pets are ever harmed, especially the wild animals captured in these videos.

@angel97263: He really does love that chair! We covered all the chairs except this one for the winter because we wanted to save it for him.
