Earlier this spring, a pair of masked bandits broke into the attic of Randy Siebold, principal of Broadview Academy. After hearing sounds of scurrying feet in the roof above their heads, he and his family decided to investigate. The identity of these masked bandits? A family of raccoons who had taken up residence in their attic. After the live capture and release of the mother, the Siebold's became the proud parents of a few squirming, screaming baby raccoons. Being very young, only one survived. Now a couple of months old, this little survivor has been given to a lady who has been raising another raccoon and will soon be transitioned to the wild.
Here are a few pictures of the little guy!
Isn't he cute!
This little guy started getting pretty frisky as he got older! He loved to explore your face with his hands. The bottoms of his feet felt so funny!
Holding this raccoon made me long for heaven when it won't be a novelty to hold a wild creature. Instead, all these wild creatures will be just like house pets! That will be so much fun! I think I might have my own zoo up there!
