Description
These two are the funniest baby raccoons I have ever seen. They are very shy, but when they pop their heads up, they always jockey for position. Notice how the little coon on the left puts his "STOP" paw on his brother!
Here is some of that annoying information you may or may not want to know about the Raccoon..
The size of a raccoon's home range as well as its nightly hunting area varies greatly depending on the habitat and food supply. Home range diameters of 1 mile are known to occur in urban areas. Mortality and Longevity.Raccoons die from encounters with vehicles, hunters, and trappers, and from disease, starvation, and predation. Young raccoons are the main victims of starvation, since they have very little fat reserves to draw from during food shortages in late winter and early spring. Raccoon predators include cougars, bobcats, coyotes, and domestic dogs. Large owls and eagles will prey on young raccoons. The average life span of a raccoon in the wild is 2 to 3 years; captive raccoons have lived. Viewing Raccoons Raccoons can be seen throughout the year, except during extremely cold periods. Usually observed at night, they are occasionally seen during the day eating or napping in a tree or searching elsewhere for food. Coastal raccoons take advantage of low tides and are seen foraging on shellfish and other food by day. Trails Raccoons use trails made by other wildlife or humans next to creeks, ravines, ponds, and other water sources. Raccoons often use culverts as a safe way to cross under roads. With a marsh on one side of the road and woods on the other, a culvert becomes their chief route back and forth. Look for raccoon tracks in sand, mud, or soft soil at either end of the culvert. In developed areas, raccoon travel along fences, next to buildings, and near food sources.

Kym Backland replied:
Heeeyyyy Joe, Your story is so funny! I love hearing..or "reading" the antics that happen in "your" life too! So, you have a BLIND...I'm so envious! I should buy one! Your raccoon story really made me laugh today! As I read your story I could just picture the faces of all the raccoons.. I can just image how the Mother's posture was! Probably she had a lot of "TUDE" short for "Attitude". I'm surey you knew that expression, but just in case....I had to write out the entire WORD! Thanks for today's chuckle Joe!
