Very cool - He's so photogenic - I love when it he starts swishing his tail in the bushes! It looks like a cat when they're angry... :)

How can you tell that it's "little boy coon" and not "little girl coon"? (well, other than the obvious, of course :)) Do they have certain traits that tell them apart?

It's pretty difficult to tell from any top view characteristics, although one can get pretty good at guessing. But in his case, you can see from the photo on my flickr photostream with his mother holding him by the neck, that he is a boy.

I would be like, "okay coon, stay back. We can both be cool. But if you try to bite me it's on!"

Ha! One other thing - the first time I watched this, I didn't have the sound on - I *love* the little trilling noises that they make! Very, *very* cool!

Oh yeah! I missed that before - I saw that shot before it was a video here, but I have to admit I wasn't really looking for that when I saw the picture for the first time... :)
