Baby Raccoon


We have a couple of mama raccoons who are bringing their babies around. Here is a shot I caught of one climbing the tree.

  1. We never get to see raccoons in the daylight hours.You have to wonder what they are thinking when they`re sitting in the tree like that.phylliso

  2. In this scenario, the baby climbed up the tree first and then mama climbed up ahead of it as if to make sure it made it okay. Then a few days later there were two smaller babies out in the daytime with their mama and they climbed up the tree and were climbing all over each other, really cute. I read they come out in the daytime when they have the little ones.

  3. My dogs scare away the raccoons. I only get to see them when they (rarely) run along the top of the fence and taunt the dogs.

  4. I don't see many raccoons, seems like they stay well away from the populated areas and where there is plenty to eat.
    That being said, I think they are beautiful...
    Your lucky to be photographing them
