You and Your Pet Raccoons

I seldom think of how different William Shakespeare’s life would have been if he’d had a couple of pet raccoons. I’ll bet he never would have written Titus Andronicus. (Haven’t had a comment since around noon-time. Maybe this’ll fetch ’em.)

Water Babies (Raccoons)

I’ve seen videos of bears, crocodiles, and dogs enjoying swimming pools, but this is the first time I’ve seen raccoons. I wonder what we’d see at night if we had a pool here. Foxes? Wraiths? I’ll have to ask the landlord how he’d feel about putting in a swimming pool.

Weekend Treat: How Raccoons Use a Bicycle

Here’s a bonus video to kick off our weekend and flush the nooze out of our systems.

You’ve probably wondered, off and on, mostly off, how raccoons can make use of a bicycle. If they sit on the seat, their legs can’t reach the pedals. Well, wonder no more–these three baby raccoons are here to show you how it’s done. After you watch this, hang your bike off the ground and give it a try.
