I’ve been feeding a slightly disabled Raccoon girl for nearly three years. She has a congenital front paw disorder. She’s made an amazing recovery. Feeding her is about the best thing I do every day. We all love her.

I have nurtured and fed many generations, living in the forest behind my home. 5-6 years of joy and entertainment. They have never damaged or destroyed anything. Love to see them meet me at the back door; when I get home from work ..... "It's buffet time" !

Best animal ever born. They ended up with the worst reputation yet they are amazing. Not only are they absolutely adorable, they are smart as hell and very gentle.

50+ years ago, my mom brought home a baby racoon. Mother abandoned the nest, and the ppl sold one to mom for 5 bucks. We named him Pitty-Pat. One of the most interesting pets to ever own. I brought him to show-and-tell one time in my classroom, kids loved him, he wondered around the classroom, touching at some of the kids, they all laughed. We had him for some 2 years, then mom died when I was 10, and dad found it a new home. But they 'are' still a wild animal. I teased him once during mating season, and got bit for my trouble. Kids will be kids, right??

Raccoons are adorable .

I love raccoons beautiful wild things. I wish they leave longer in the wild. They have a hard time to find food in the winter time. I respect all the creatures that share this world with us. Without them we are nothing.

Animals dont have hatred or envy, they just have a pure instinct to survive, and if we are patient and gain their trust, its amazing the the bond they can get with us.

I had raccoons as pets for over 20 years, including one that slept by me for 14 years. I wormed the animals with vet. type wormer and have never seen evidence of the much touted diseases I'm tired of hearing about. Also the racoon with whom I had so much contact understood and obeyed many commands, calling yourself learning cube doesn't mean you know so much!

There's a guy on RU-vid who streams live feedings of racoons on his back porch each night.

They are not aggressive. They are helpful to have around. They eat snails and bugs in your yard and they are amazing animals to have around.

I've assisted several generations of raccoons over the past 28 years in my private forest. Usually, I count 22 or 23 and they are always on time for supper. (At dusk). Later into the night they come to my home and eat some late night treats. Every one of them has a different personality and I can discern who's who. They are very timid until they know me and then they get somewhat chummy. I usually wind up smelling like a raccoon as they will climb all over me if I'm sitting on the ground. They are ALWAYS curious and insist on checking all my pockets knowing a treat is hidden within. In those 28 years, only one died from distemper it had contracted from a feral cat that died earlier. She was a very polite visitor as raccoons go, I named her Lily. Yes, they are endless great company when they visit.

Bonjour 🐕, quelle jolie Animal, il est très affectueux,.il faut absolument les protéger des chasseurs et braconnier. Longue vie à tous les Animaux 🐕 💓 💗 🐕

I saw a Albino raccoon the other night. Well not just one, but at least 7 of them. It was a whole family lol pretty rare sighting.

It sounds like they had this guy record every word in the dictionary, then cut and pasted words into sentences for the video

We always have a family at our house each summer. We feed them and like to watch them. Some are friendly and others skittish

They are freakin’ cute❤️

I love the little creatures.

In Norwegian these are called Washingbears ...

i had no idea they came from the tropics! they are so adaptable!!!

Love your video. We share our home with four raccoons. The house has been modified to accommodate their semi arboreal preferences, and they live happily alongside us as family and friends. 💖

The raccoons in my neighborhood have eaten side by side with a possum stray cats and foxes they never fight and respect each other's space. I've never seen a raccoon kill another animal maybe because they have all their needs met

Racoons are impressive of their high intelligence. I caught a momma raccoon with 3 cubs climbing on my tree. I commanded the mother to get down, she looked down , shook her head, than she harassed the 3 cubs to follow her down. One by one they came down with the mother being the first one to stand by to ensure the all the cubs came down. Once finished the mother raccoon stood up like a dog begging, she lifted her head up like she was saying she was sorry, than causally walked away with the 3 cubs looking back at me. One of the strangest but coolest animal encounters ever. Since then , I admire Raccoons and always be on the ready if I see them needing help of any kind. Love them knowing now , how smart they really are.

They don't kill cats or dogs either. Coyotes do and they get blamed for it.

Really because I have about 20 raccoons outside living in a bush I went rite up to them and they sniffed me it was SOOOO CUTE

How can you tell they're raccoons? They're all wearing masks!

There is a male raccoon in my yard which looks like George Clooney. I swear, he is so handsome. I love raccoons so much.

I just feed them whole hot dogs when they come around the porch. They are so adorable to feed. Sometimes it feels like early Halloween cause they have mask and all. 🦝

Great stuff, but he doesn't apply discipline to the ornary one. A number of years ago we used to have racoons come by our worksite and feed with the cats. They all took oatmeal/raisin cookies by hand from me. One jumpy little feller stood up and did a little dance before lunging at the cookie, scaring us both. Next time he started that dance i pulled the cooking back, pointed an index finger, and calmly said "no". It really worked!

A common MISCONCEPTION is... "They wash thier food before eating it. NOT the case!! They're wettimg (ie; MOISTURIZING) food because they, DO NOT HAVE SALIVA GLANDS.

Kinda sad how they get such a bad rap. I saw one on my deck outside so I fed him some ham and peanut butter. He sat on the chairs outside for hours cleaning himself eating and drinking some water out of a bowl I put outside with fresh filtered water. Buddy’s got it good

Love watching the channel raccoon whisperer.

I know how heartbreaking it is to see a beloved animal die because of humans whether accidentally or on purpose. I will keep you and all your sweet little ones in my prayers.

really...hurt local eco systems...lets talk about how man comes in and destroys hundreds of thousands of acres of forests to throw up a mini mall or apartment complexes or car lots...who is the real nuisance here

We have mothers who bring babies to our deck each year. We put out dry cat food! Our deck is cleaner after they are done! We love them!

A big family of raccoons used to visit my girlfriend and I on our back deck throughout the summer evenings. The kits would happily hop up to eat cat kibble and gently eat out of my hand while the huge mom looked on protectively. It was delightful but not very wise on my part. Still, we adored them. The German name translates to "wash-bears" because they like to wash their food if possible before eating.

These are the cutest raccoons!!!

Nice informative video thank you. I have a few families of raccoons living on my property that I feed and let hang out. They're really very sweet animals and they're polite; they have never caused me any trouble, they just do their own thing and come around for a snack. I respect that they are wild animals and I never get near them or try to touch them at any time.

So they DO wash stuff! In Sweden we call them "tvättbjörn" directly translates to washing bear.

Great info . ❤️They are adorable and interesting. Love the way they dunk cat food in the water bowl before eating ! The facts about water are fascinating and explains why I have many visiting raccoons - we have a creek behind us, and at my daughter’s- they have numerous small ponds surrounding their development (and forest ).

Raccoon kits are wonderful pets. They're desperately dependent and keenly attentive. Normally 3 or 4 kits follow a mother (or adoptive human parent) everywhere and mimic her behavior. For this we call raccoons social animals. But it doesn't last. Adult raccoons are antisocial - that's nature's way of making them establish their own territory. In the juvenile mind something breaks, so it begins to snap and growl at its siblings, and even its mother. Soon they're so independent they must part ways. An adult raccoon's curiosity and confidence could be mistaken for friendliness if that's what you want of it.

They are smart! And fun and adorable. They are such a joy.

I have a pet ratcoon

I feed about 20 or more...love them...I feed them unsalted peanuts...dry cat food...grapes..blue berries..×2 times at night...they are part of my family...❤❤

I bet Raccoon got its name from reconnoiter which means "to scout"... They're so close subconsciously it's at least a synchronicity

Very good video. Learned a few things I didn't know about them.

I love them ❤️

Hello! I really enjoyed your video and wonder If you might grant permission to use a very short clip (15 seconds) of the Raccoon when he in on the street for use in an educational video for Kindergarten Children. My niece is a teacher and is having her kids identify winter tracks and I just want add something interesting to my contribution to hold the little ones attention. It's very informal. Thank you for you time and attention! Sincerely, Diane U

Bonjour 🐕. Une jolie vidéo avec de magnifiques Animaux, j’aime beaucoup les Ratons Laveurs. Je vis avec un adorable Chihuahua. Amitiés 🐕 💓 🐕

Very educational I have raccoons around my house alot of them I’m in Chicago in a urban area and yes they only come out at night

Great video and information about a very fascinating animal.

"Stay away from racoons" _meanwhile,_ Racoon Cafe: hold on Funniest Raccoon Moments Video: Hold my beer Tito the Raccoon: wait me James Blackwood - Raccoons Whisperer: me too

Only humans can liken these gorgeous babes to bandits. Beauty is skin deep.

This guy's voice in maddening

When I was a kid, my parents were superintendents of a 60 unit apartment building. A tenant call to report that a huge commotion and screams were coming from an adjacent apartment and she feared that a man was beating his wife to death. My mother investigated the sounds and called the police. Mother opened the apartment with her master key for the police and inside they discovered 2 pet raccoons that had been left alone by the apartment occupants when they went to work. The whole apartment had been trashed. Every piece of furniture, drapes, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom were destroyed. The couple had insurance, but the company did not pay out.

The word raccoon is derived from Japanese and means "washing bear".

the facts helped me do my homework abt racoons so THANKKKKKKK U!!!!!

"Sly character" I love it

That explains how racoons got to Japan. I realise they are smart animals, but boatbuilding is not a known racoons skill set. Like the panda, the racoon knows how to look and act* "cute". *exploit

Thank you for your video. I love raccoons and they had 6 babies this March or April in my backyard under my deck. First time I was so scared but immediately fell in love with them. They are nice and they had a hard time to get fresh food so I gave them a cat food that I always leave it for the street cats. It's so sad that they can only survive with digging a trash....human took animals land for making a house and stores and golf... human are so devil...

I think they are beautiful and very cute. I love them! 🦝🥰🦝🥰🦝🥰🦝🇬🇧

I didn’t know Rigby was this popular…

Very informative video, but the narration is very stilted and odd sounding. Almost robotic. The tonal inflections don't feel natural.

Thanks I enjoyed this video

Raccoons are capable of collapsing their spine to fit into small spaces.

I had 4 juvenile raccoons in my backyard today. I scared them when I opened my back door, but when I tried to sneak a peek at them (after sneaking around them to my garage for a smoke) they approached me like I was their mom; or maybe I was perceived as a threat. Their body language was hard to read since their guard hairs were very fine. I closed the door on the two that came up to me & let them ravage my backyard while I cowered in my garage lol. Very cute & smart animals, even though I did have a bad run in with one once.

Raccoons have poor vision. Check your facts

Amazing video! I really like it dude!

Raccoon hibernation: I'd rather go hungry than be cold.

i love racoons

I love raccoons. I'd have one for a pet if I could. But keep in mind some of them can carry rabies just like skunks and foxes.

❤Ours together our little family with rank and position Racoons

Adorable little bandits

They need water to support swallowing-they do not have the salivary glands most animals have.

Love The Information About The Adorable Raccoon.

Very well done. Info re disease-carrying might be more detailed. Are there areas where this is no problem?

Finally someone hailing us. Vote for Raccoonocracy!

thank you

One fact about Raccoons (Trash Pandas) that nobody will tell you is Raccoons, Skunks & Armadillos all went to the same Dubious Road Crossing School. In certain areas of North America Raccoons are makeing a real push to become the Dominate species.

Raccoons aren't native to the tropics. The crab-eating variety is, but the Northern Raccoon is from the US and Canada.

Calling a raccoon's front paws paws is insulting to the guy. They're more like hands. And the skin of their hands is as soft as a baby's.

I was walking my chihuahua a month ago. We saw a mother raccoon and two babies. I stopped while she and the babies walked past a dumpster, walked across the road and went down an embankment. The mother came back and attacked me. I was scratched and bruised on my leg, my thigh, my abdomen and was bitten on my arm. Yes, I went to the hospital A tetanus shot plus 10 rabies shots. They hurt so much, I cried. More shots weeks later. Beware.

by the way , its not theft if its found in their Garbage

I was a caretaker of cats being bred outdoors by the Humane Society in Chicago . The racoons were abundant and love dry car food more than cats. Coons raid both squirrel and cat nests and will eat the babies. I didn't film any of this but am an eyewitness for years from 2010 thru 2020. Racoons decimated the squirrel population at Ken Dunn's Resource Center on Chicago's far south side. I saw it.

They're cute

Harrass passers by , yeah Feed Me ! , so Cute !

I was told that they don't wash their food. They wet their food because they don't have saliva and that makes it easier to swallow.

Cozumel Raccoon

I seen a big one tonight on the fence it came out of a palm tree I was scared I told my neighbor to go in the house and I went in the house just in case but I heard rumors over the months since last year that there was a coon hanging around our home and around our apartment complex so when I first saw it I was startled cuz it was so big and it was walking the fence and then I saw the signature tail and then I saw the face and I knew it was a raccoon it was just a big one it took off down the fence it was at death so it was coming out to go hunt for food obviously I've heard many noises late at night could be from the raccoon and it probably has friends more likely a lot of those strange noises I hear at night outside it's probably the raccoons I've been hearing I know a few days ago I went on the bike trail I was riding down it and all the sudden I heard something growling at me I turned around I heard it again I wasn't sure what it was at first I thought later maybe it sounded like a bobcat but now I know it was not a bobcat it must have been that raccoon I've heard that this raccoon has been chasing the stray cats around here and all but one of the stray cats have disappeared perhaps the raccoon killed the cats and ate them I don't know would they do that since they seem to have an aggressive nature the animal looked at me as if it was crunched down I just had this creepy feeling it might come towards me so I told my neighbor he was a woman in her seventies just go in the house and we'll go inside and I called the wildlife sanctuary and animal control and left a messages call me back it freaked me out I never seen a raccoon that big before especially that close cuz I know they can be unpredictable

The Red Head Is Amazing..... Beautiful!

I help them as much as I can.

Actually raccoons do NOT hibernate. They may sleep a little more but they are quite active during the winter.

They are an amazing intelligent animal they shouldn’t be ignored or avoided we should help but keep distance

Very interessing 👍🏻

I learned by experience when they are not rabid they are not jerks.

Wow I thought they a teif

We ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Raccoons

Nice facts, but did anyone see that is was by Animal Facts by Datacube?! Thought this was NATGEO or something for a second.

Why they so cute

Wash-bears.
