    Curious young raccoon

    This younger raccoon spotted me coming its way, and watched warily - as I approached and passed by, it hid back in the trees, but then decided to follow me around the wetlands for a while. I photographed him 5 different times over the next 30 minutes, following about 100 feet behind me for...

    Hey! You woke me up!

    This raccoon was taking a nap with its head resting in the crook of a branch. It stared back at us for a while, then climbed further up into the tree to nap in peace, away from all the papparazzies.

    Thief!

    I've posted another one of this raccoon back when I took the shots. It was stealing bread crumbs that someone had tossed out, most likely for the birds, in a clearing by North Lake in GG Park. Raccoons are probably a major reason why there were signs at several spots around the lake telling...

    Look: No fingerprints!

    Wearing gloves, see? Saw this sneaky raccoon stealing bird (or squirrel) snacks someone had tossed by a lake in Golden Gate Park yesterday. He was so bold he scared me. They can be viscious animals, and if they seem "tame" it may be a sign of rabies, so when he came towards me I was...

    Part Of My Backyard Zoo

    Looks like a mother and two almost grown young. Raccoons seem to hunt in our backyard at least once a week. We live in an old part of town, miles from the city limit, but we have had Raccoons for years. Taken by a trail camera.

    Pay no attention to the raccoon robbing the feeder! Something was messing with our bird feeder at night so I set up a game camera and got this. Upside down trash can on the pole fixed this problem.

    After a bird-watching outing at an Orlando resort, I was returning to my hotel room when someone pointed out to me that a raccoon was raiding a trash container near the hotel entrance. This happened in broad daylight with many people lounging by the adjacent pools. The raccoon seemed at first...
