The Raccoon whisperer

I like to post some entertainment from time to time to break up the Political monotony , you know keep a balance of levity.

Lol I love Raccoons with there thumbs and intelligent eyes , Everywhere I live a Raccoon always seems to show up and eat what ever Cat or Dog food I leave out at night , It takes time but eventually I gain it's trust to the point where its waiting on my poarch at night just lookng at me like where's the food ?

My outside Cat just shares the food I've seen them eat from the same bowl simultaneously .






Not sure what's wrong with the Link .

Also raccoons are pretty adorable. Though we had some pretty fat sassy, glossy, well fed, brazen ones in the tree outside my old place you didn't want to mess around with.

Also, one time while trapping bats in Stanley park, we had raccoons battling skunks over the bats we left hanging in bags. It was a fierce battle both skunks and raccoons sound terrifying when they fight. I guess both thought the bats would make a tasty treat...and a homeless guy had been feeding them fish heads before we showed up. So the raccoons and skunks were feeki.g pretty ballsy I spose.

Bats are very light, like 8-20 grams, We needed to leave them in bags and let them poop so the weight of their poop in their little bat bellies didn't make their weight measurement inaccurate. Science yo.

I found this guy about a year ago and the videos a fun to watch...they are even well behaved at that...with all that food!

Sure, but one of these days he’s going to run out of food for them and then someone will find his skeleton picked clean on the porch the next morning.

My wife and I have been watching for over a year too.
Before he went 'viral'.
Amazing watching his channel grow after the OP video blew up.
Approaching 18 million views!

yeah I'm pretty sure they don't look at him and think 'Friend'
instead, they look at him and think 'Food'





I couldn't watch that clip without thinking about 'The Great Outdoors' (John Candy).

Thanks for reminding me about this guy. I saw some his early videos, but he was feeding only a few at the time. Now it's a proper feeding orgy!

It reminds me of those Nathan hotdog eating contests and the hotdog scene in Meet Dave.

I lived in Vancouver for five years, not to far from Stanley Park. Every evening I'd see racoons scavenging for scraps around the waterfront, all the way to Canada Place where the cruise ships were anchored. Most residential buildings had garbage collected internally, so slim pickings for the racoons. However, a lot of people would eat their lunches/snacks on the benches along the seafront, so I'm sure there were always scraps for them. They were always nice and plump!

My first ever double post... How did that happen?

And then there's Brian, trying to act normal!
