    Racoons are absolutely adorable. I have been feeding a Mama and her 3 babies for quite some time. I live next to a creek where there are many trees and bushes and the Racoons live there, so they come to my door just about every evening for food. They are actually quite respectful and patient. Now the babies, against Mom's wishes come to my home on their own, then all of a sudden the Mom shows up and makes a sound to them, but they ignore her, its hilarious how defiant they are.
