Ya that mom was running on pure adrenaline... at one point holding the kid upside-down in left arm while holding the racoon in the other arm and shouting to the kid to get inside.

And in the racoon's defense, it was "allegedly" rabid:)

I haven't heard that expression in a racoons age.

Poor little Racoon. He was probably trying to get to the moon.

Those Racoons are in deep shit when this guy passes away.

Personally, I think it was an asshole racoon jumping out in front of them.

Wow... put a few more Testicle Racoons in there and you got yourself some choice Hentai.

I also don't get this "dogs were domesticated by humans, cats domesticated themselves" bullshit. Dogs were domesticated the exact same way as cats, the only difference is we discovered cats are only useful for rodent control, as hunters. Dogs could be hunters (terriers), hunter-helpers (pointers, retrievers), protectors and herd control (shepards, collies), beasts of burden (Rottweilers), etc. Of course we spent more time working with dogs. They had useful abilities already. Cats are much like rats, racoons and other animals that thrive in the presence of humanity. They're just at the top of their respective food chain, like we are.

You can hear the road near by. Mom probably met here demise there as you would never see cubs on their own with out Mama putting up a massive stink.

Racoons are mostly nocturnal as well so its not common to see them out and about in broad daylight.

Hope this guy took them in or found a shelter for them.

@Oxen_Morale
yeah..i am struggling to see how this is a liberal thing.
this is about saving a baby elephant that would have otherwise perished.


this is admirable.

the simple fact is that this woman made a choice and realized the consequences and decided those consequences were acceptable.

should she just have left the baby to die? while having the resources,time and patience to nurture this baby elephant to health,and possible giving it a happy life?

i have saved:baby squirrels,muskrats,racoons,rats and adopted countless puppies,kittens and even birds on occasion.

should i have left them to perish as well?

i think your snap judgement was not very well-thought out.

were you aware there are elephant sanctuaries that accept retired circus elephants and former zoo elephants?

i bet this lady knows about them.so while your concern about this babies future is admirable,this woman knows what she is doing.

Go home, racoon! You're... dammit... nevermind.

I said they can feel more when dousing. The racoon is simply examining the items.

"Their paws contain highly developed nerves, and the water actually makes their paws more sensitive.

"Dabbling behavior in water is a fixed motor pattern in raccoons. Since only captive raccoons exhibit food-dousing behavior, scientists believe that washing food is simply a substitute for normal dabbling behavior, which has no other outlet in captivity,"

Feeling things underwater is what they do. Why do you imagine the owners have supplied the racoon with a water bowl full of toys? It is to occupy its attention.

usually,but they are more an opportunist than anything.
my girlfriends mom has a family of racoons that she feeds nightly and if she is late?..they will scratch at the door.

ballsy lil fuckers..day OR night!

i was moving some stuff for her one time and left the door open while i did so and the baby just walked inside and started eating the cats food.

I enjoy that the racoons will kill space mofos. But what do I care about space mofos? Only time will tell.
