If you possess an affection for the raccoon as I do, perhaps you will be interested in seeing this short video that a quickly threw together and put on YouTube.

I have a niece and nephew who live in France. Although they live in the country, and can see big rabbits and deer and wild boar at the drop of the hat, they do not have raccoons. They’ve seen pictures but never a real one.
I, on the other hand, have raccoons parading through my yard. This year I found five in our apple tree early one morning. Five is a record. I made the video for Emma and Thibaut so they could see them too. If you don’t have raccoons in the part of the world where you live, you might find this interesting too.
