More Baldy the Raccoon!!!

Baldy is a hairless raccoon that lives in our back yard. She is at least 3 years old. I think she has some form of Alopecia.

Our neighbour says that she started losing her hair about two years ago and has since had at least one litter of babies. (Do raccoons have litters?)

Our landlord's wife feeds her dog food along with the rest of the raccoons and every stray cat in our neighborhood. It'd probably bother me more if Baldy didn't come around to eat!

She seems to have been making her way around Parkdale this summer as there has been many sightings, but this is a first-hand account of my boyfriend meeting Baldy for the first time. (Until that day he didn't believe me that there was a bald raccoon living in our back yard!)

Cool! I saw Baldy in the paper and decided to see it on Youtube. Also, for you crazy ppl who want to kill it, you can't just kill something because you may "get sick." Or it's ugly, vermin or other reasons. Everything deserves to live! Humans are just as bad as any creature on the planet so you're all ones to talk!

@Thedragonsisters I agree with all of those except for the "everything deserves to live" and the "vermin" part, if there's a raccoon in my house I don't want there (these people clearly like the thing so they can keep it as long as it isn't rabid) but I would get rid of a raccoon in my house. Also to the everything deserves to live... lice and bacterial diseases are living things, but if you had them you'd kill them, but I do agree about not killing it just because it's ugly.

Wow . For years , my family has been taking care of a colony of raccoons that lives under our storage ... 'barn' . Several generations have passed , and I have seen raccoons with ears like a scottish-fold , but I have never seen anything of this nature . You sure it was a disease that caused her to be hairless and not a genetic mutation ? If it was a disease , I'd expect some patches of fur to still remain ...

what happen to her fur?

I got a bald cat but this thing is really weird. Those raccoon hands freak me out.

@SaturnAndItsRings Of course not. I'm a human and I'm producing too much waste for this world to handle. I'm trying to change that so that's why I join eco groups.

@Thedragonsisters and I guess you exclude your self from the "humans are just as any creature" part

I watched a video of my neighbor's hairless ass. Pretty similar.
