The Cute Raccoon Family! [Camera Project 2.1/Raccoons]

How about spending 2 minutes watching Mom raccoon and her kits play around! Yes, playing around... and performing wanton destruction of my equipment for absolutely no reason - ;)

I Luv raccoons. They are very nice and cute.

@jbarker2375 - So do I :)

I love Raccoons; I have a family of three in my backyard, but they've eaten most of the fish in my pond and I'm very upset so I'm having a friend move them to a forest where they'll be much happier and won't eat my pets >:(

Still love them though :D!!!!

@TheInstantClassic1 - Putting fish out is like putting out a welcome mat for raccoons to come - if there's food, they'll come - :) Thanks for caring about them though, some people have less than humane ways of dealing with raccoons that eat from their pond - :(

awww! i love raccoons and would love to see them in my garden but i live in the UK!

I work for a rescue company over here that rescues badgers, hedgehogs, fox's, squirrels and birds and soon we are coming to the US so its been lovely watching your videos! Although raccoons are a pain for some ppl they are very clever and obviously if they didnt follow their natural instinct they would die and we would see less and less of these amazing animals :) thank u for seeing the gd side of them!!

@151megz - You're welcome, that's definitely what I'm trying to do! Raccoons are awesome animals, they can be a pain to some people, but they fascinate me :) I'd love to work with them some day the way you do with the foxes and other animals in the UK - that's very cool that you do that! Thanks for visiting, sorry for the late reply!

They actually don't make great pets. They are VERY human like as babies and they are a lot like raising a human baby, but when they reach sexual maturity, even those raised on a bottle and very tame can become dangerous to their handler. They usually will turn on the one person who has cared for them most as they become territorial by nature. Sometimes this passes, other times it does not. Add to that their pensity for being little wrecking balls and there ya have it.....LOL

@MrMr1995blaine - That's why I love that you don't live near me, so you can't - ;)

[taburineagle]

@Seddieluv1 - Hmmm... maybe that's what I *want*? :P

[Seddieluv1]

this person is hella stupid cuz the more food you put out the more raccoons come!!!

i would love to turn my coon dog loose and let her run them up a tree so i could shoot them out
