Description A baby raccoon who, last summer, became very friendly with me. He wanted to get peanuts of course but he has been always sweet with me.

Short story: In Summer 2016, in August, a mother raccoon and her three babies were arriving around 4 PM each and every day. The father was coming at night as usual. I have called them my three little monsters who were going everywhere looking for food. They were scratching the soil - I mean the lawn - and tried to reach the bird feeders in order to empty them. They have wrecked havoc on the lawn, the veranda and even in my flowerbeds on  late September.
Two of the babies were sweet but the third one was aggressive with me, grunting all the time at me. He even bit my forearm and one leg but slightly. Except once, when he bit hard my tibia. I finally managed to conquer him by looking straight at his eyes and say "no" 3 times. He was not liking me more but respecting me.

A gift for , aka Philip, to thank him for his constant support and kindness.    I hope he likes wild animals! 

Also a gift for , aka Richard, to put - even a little while - a smile on his face.  And also to thank him for his kindness and support either.

I love both of you!

A few! They're not a natural part of our eco system, so people fear them! Don't want them to get established  
I find them cute! VERY thugish but cuuuute! Haven't seen one though. The ones we have, were sighted further down south...

Oh Lord I would had been so frightened if I would had been bitten by a raccoon as I hear they can carry rabies. Make sure you get yourself checked Jocelyn you can get a real bad infection from bites

JocelyneR In reply to Doll-Ladi [2017-03-16 08:01:30 +0000 UTC]

I am well aware about rabies, Melissa, and raccoons can carry rabies of course. My cats are vaccinated.
But these babies were normal. Only one of them was having a bad temper.
Thank you kindly for caring!

Such a cutie for our friend Phillipe but you must be careful as they can carry rabies here is an article I just found for you www.addl.purdue.edu/newsletter… I do not mean to scare you but be careful. It is however a very sweet photo.
