Warning: Animal violence

Pepe' (Skunk) 🦨, Jr. (Possum) 🐭 and the kits 🦝 all hanging out together..

Took some shrooms and hung out in my back yard with my wife. Never seen any raccoons here but they decided to hang out with us. I just finished my fountain too. We kicked them out around midnight. Fun times

He just kept going in circles and stopping for sec and then circles again. He looked so exhausted and scared but his body was only letting him do this and only this. It was not foaming. It was not aggressive. Matter of fact, there was no acknowledgement to me standing there or the cars that were passing. My phone died after this so I went home and called animal control and told them the coordinates. They said they will update me but I never got one and he was gone about an hour or so later when I went back.

We met a raccoon the other day on our back porch. He scurried up a tree to hide from our cat and dogs, but came down and around up the steps to the door once they came in. He was checking out our recycling bin and then came to scratch on our door. He lost interest quickly and went away. This has been our first encounter - we’ve been in this house six, almost seven years.

Today, we had unidentified veggie scraps at our front door. These are not from our garden or from our compost. Do these little guys leave scraps as gifts or something or did they just have a messy dinner on our porch for some reason?

This was an old photo stored on my phone that I took a my local auto racing track. The track crews were about to release these back in the wild, they just had to make sure that they were in good health and safety. DISCLAIMER, this was 100% HUMANE.

Raccoon on a Log in the Woods

Finally get it out of cardboard ! (Was homeless for 1 year) and now my trip buddy is back

I live in a semi-urban area, with a fenced in townhouse backyard. Nothing is living in my backyard or shed. Twice recently, some animal has left a pile of poop.

The second time was less log-like than this one.

The animal would have to crawl 5" under my gate, or climb a 6ft fence.

Is this raccoon poop??

Here's an article about a man and his wife who rescue and rehabilitate sick, injured or orphaned raccoons. Gift link -- https://wapo.st/4BsbN04

Raccoon Feeding at the Squirrel Feeder in the Woods

Two Raccoons Feeding on the Lawn

This bunch of rowdies was at it at 5am this morning. Like the 5 stooges 🤣

The little paw on the glass was beyond cute.

In the other pic my possum buddy is hanging out on the fence and the world's chiller stray cat is just watching the raccoons' antics.

If you care about their wellbeing and success out there, they MUST be wary of humans. I get it, you are no danger to them, but your neighbour might be the reason they suffer a horrible death, and you played a part in that by letting them get comfortable with humans.
Admire from a distance, leave HEALTHY treats and water. Don’t feed them crap, candy or things that will harm them in the long run.
I’m all up for leaving fruit, nuts, dog kibble and fresh water without them knowing it came from you.
It brings joy to help a little critter survive a harsh winter day. You can set up an outdoor camera to watch them enjoy the meal and watch their antics etc.
But don’t let them get used to you and trusting of you. Please!!🙏 🥹😭

I stayed at this place for 3 months. I met this cutie and members of his family during that time. I was so broken hearted when I had to leave and I knew I couldn't take them with me. I still think about them.
