While we shelter indoors for COVID-19, raccoons are busy all night in our neighborhoods. With kits in the nest they’re on the lookout for an easy meal. It can lead to hilarious results.
If you see a raccoon don’t approach and don’t touch, not even the babies. Remember, raccoons are rabies vectors. Stay safe and take a video like one of these.
