…baby tree hugger……
Way way up in my maple tree is a nest. And in the nest lives one or more baby raccoons. During the day, they snooze and snooze, finding the best position, and learning that when you snooze, you must wedge yourself between some limbs and become a tree hugger.
They learned this the hard way. Earlier this month, my neighbor heard a thump, and then a scramble where mother raccoon quickly descended because baby raccoon had fallen 25ft to the ground. Baby raccoon forgot to hug the tree. Mother picked up baby raccoon and brought him back to the nest. The baby raccoon was no worse for wear.
You can see, that baby raccoon learned a lot that day. He is firmly wedged and hugging the tree.
so cute!
I had two baby raccoons before (they lost their mama and my step-dad brought them home). They were adorably evil and enjoyed marshmallows.
Thank you Selah. I see them every year throughout the summer, hanging in different positions. They are adorable, though I am not so found of their night prowling onto my rooftop.:)
Thank you! That is so interesting about the marshmallows:)
