Description
This is the funniest new baby Coonie! His arms are so fat and furry! He is like a little "Line Backer" He sort of looks like he is giving his Mommy "A Leg Up".. or like he is a "Foot Stool".. hehe. The little baby raccoon didn't like that his Mother was on "His back"... She was telling her baby..." You are not going anywhere!" So the little feller stood still and heeded the warning of his Mother's discipline. This baby coon is so wide and bow legged.. They run through the yard, then over the deck, and then just like that, they are gone again.
Here are some of those "Pesky" Facts to go along with the little pesky fellers..
Bandit-masked raccoons are a familiar sight just about everywhere, because they will eat just about anything. These ubiquitous mammals are found in forests, marshes, prairies, and even in cities. They are adaptable and use their dexterous front paws and long fingers to find and feast on a wide variety of fare. In the natural world, raccoons snare a lot of their meals in the water. These nocturnal foragers use lightning-quick paws to grab crayfish, frogs, and other aquatic creatures. On land, they pluck mice and insects from their hiding places and raid nests for tasty eggs.Raccoons also eat fruit and plants—including those grown in human gardens and farms. They will even open garbage cans to dine on the contents. These ring-tailed animals are equally opportunistic when it comes to choosing a denning site. They may inhabit a tree hole, fallen log, or a house's attic. Females have one to seven cubs in early summer. The young raccoons often spend the first two months or so of their lives high in a tree hole. Later, mother and children move to the ground when the cubs begin to explore on their own.
Raccoons in the northern parts of their range gorge themselves in spring and summer to store up body fat. They then spend much of the winter asleep in a den. There are six other species of raccoons, in addition to the familiar northern (North American) raccoon. Most other species live on tropical islands.

Kym Backland replied:
Darlene, That's so interesting that you said this. I never thought about these newest babies doing Cheerleading moves.. You made me laugh.I wish I could put a side by side picture of this little one and the one in the Cheerleading photo, because his legs are big and bow legged just like his Mother's are.. Wish I knew how to use Photoshop and I could do a split screen.. Anyways thanks for tonight's chuckles and votes!
