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.

Thank you, dear Denyse!
I know about rabies and my cats are vaccinated against it.
Actually, one year, at about 300 miles from here, some raccoons were carrying rabies. I am careful, don't worry!
Thank you for your kind comment!

GOT FOOD? Who else but Dr. Do littles daughter would have a story like this one? What this means is that at the next world summit animals can be invited because now we have an interpreter.

Yes I know and I am cautious. The adults don't come close to me but they are watching.
I am used to the wild life, David, thanks to my father.

Thank you for your kind comment, dear Mel!
My father was a nature lover. He took me to the forest for the first time when I was barely 4 years old. He was having a small shack but he let me learn by myself.
