Description
I look out onto the deck, and this little feller, looks like he is saying his prayers for the night. " Now I lay me down to sleep".. or Thank you for this place! He matches the chair in color, It's like his is a Chameleon changing colors to match his environment. I love his little paws. Put your hands together and clap with me... Let's give a big round of applause for our next baby coon to get on the deck! I had so many titles and names I wanted to give to this photo. Here are some of those "pesky" facts about the little furry fellows.
Raccoons are large mammals, most often seen dead on roadsides or at night going through garbage cans. They are shy creatures, active at night.
Raccoons are often thought to be close relatives of weasels, but they are actually more closely related to pandas.Their fur is grayish brown with black markings. Raccoons are easily identified by the black mask on the face and a bushy tail with four to six black rings.
Raccoons den in hollow trees, fissures in rocks, caves, or burrows (usually old fox, woodchuck or skunk burrow). They almost always live near water. They will also move into a muskrat house.Raccoons are omnivorous and eat almost anything, including: nuts, berries, acorns, leaves, grasshoppers, crickets, grubs, worms, dragonfly larvae, clams, wasps, salamanders, frogs, crayfish, snakes, turtles and their eggs, bird eggs and nestlings, fish, voles, and squirrels. They often eat garbage scraps and at times have been seen eating dead animals on the sides of roads.

Another adorable raccoon image. Animals are so much more expressive than us humans often think they are. Great capture! F/L

Lianne, How nice of you to stop in. I'm soooo behind myself. I just found out I won this contest.. The "keeping up", with replies and comments.... ugh, it's impossible. Kind of like "washing dishes".... or something like that.Actually, I "CAN" keep up with dishes, I guess it's like keeping up with .....yikes don't say the Kardashians... I would should say, it's like keeping up with your bills... "You are only caught up for a small window of time!" hehe.. Thanks for your nice notes and votes Lianne!
