  • Some of my other friends are gone to sleep already and these guys are getting a top up before they have to go.
    I am a retired RCMP Officer living in a rural setting in Nova Scotia, Canada. I spend my time enjoying nature and feeding my furry friends, the raccoons. I also feed the deer in the winter months and many varieties of birds. I have two rescue cats named Connor and Charlotte.

      @johnnydtractive Před 3 lety +6

      Revving Chevvy,
      What are you talking about? Winter mortality has been studied at length (Zeveloff, 2002; Hohmann, Bartussek, 2001; McWilliams, Wilson, 2015; Pitt, 2006 etc).
      The Pitt study is particularly good since it was done in Canada over several years, & he noted a winter survival rate from .51 to .84. In other words, some years almost half of all raccoons died over the winter: "I did find a strong relationship between winter severity (as measured through temperature and snow cover) and over-winter survival. Proportional hazards model of over-winter survival identified winter severity as the variable with the greatest impact on over-winter survival of raccoons."
      I've noticed you making several completely unfounded statements on Jim's videos. I'm not sure what your problem is, but you really should seek out FACTS before making such obviously incorrect generalizations.

    (Hello there! I’ll be copying and pasting the following comment in every video for the convenience of new viewers and long time viewers alike! Have a wonderful time, everyone!)
    How James Is Able To Tell Which Raccoon Is Which + His Cats + Other Important Information
    [Raccoons]
    Woody: an older, bigger raccoon that's very shy towards Jame but really likes women; when James has a woman guest over he'll go right up to them. He also likes to keep his distance and will stand on his hind legs by the steps and wait for James to throw a hot dog to him and then run down the steps to eat.
    Scooter: the adorable one that scoots up to Jim then scurries off fast to the corner usually hoarding the hot dogs. Will usually climb on James. Scooter is the youngest/smallest/runt of the last litter and may have 1 or 2 siblings that are similar to his size. (Fun Fact: He almost pulled down Jim's pants once, haha!) When spooked, Scooter will run up the deck lattice near the door & inadvertently shut the deck lights off
    Sammy: jumps up next to Jim and doesn't mind being petted. Was born in April 2019.
    Buddy: Sits right up on the railing behind James to grab at his coat and demand quick feeding of dogs; usually only eats hotdogs then scampers off and tends to put his paws on his shoulders. Though there are other raccoons that mimic his behaviour, the original Buddy will give Jim kisses & will pull him back toward him by his shoulder VERY insistently. He's a rather smart, hyper-alert raccoon that would avoid the raccoons on the stairs & walk the railings to get to Jim; this habit was not taught by Jim but rather was a habit developed by Buddy's own will.
    Camera Man/Steven Spielberg: found in the corner top railing who fools with the camera all the time. The name (Steve Spielberg) originally came from the viewers; several other directors were suggested but James ultimately settled on Steven Spielberg!
    Blackie: An adult raccoon that has darker fur than the rest of the raccoons. He's come by in previous years on and off; he seems to visit in the spring and return in the fall.
    Old Fella/Scrappy: Part of his ear is missing.
    Grabby: A notably aggressive raccoon that, as claimed by Jim, will “mark you up if you don’t watch him.” It is also known that other raccoons have acted similarly to Grabby in the past.
    [Raccoon Notes]
    - Sammy + Buddy are older than the other babies.
    - Foods that Jim usually feeds the raccoons include, but are not limited to chicken hotdogs (with no nitrites/nitrates), dog food, bolognese, grapes, marshmallows and cookies (e.g. Oreos.)
    - Jim supplies the raccoons with buckets of water as well.
    - Not all raccoons have names.
    [Cats]
    Connor Cat: A black and white Norwegian Forest cat. Jim had adopted him following the death of Charlie, one of his previous cats. It is claimed that Connor Cat looks just like Charlie.
    Charlotte: A medium to long hair calico (champagne and white hued), fluffy cat. A bit more
    [Cat Notes]
    - Both cats are from a rescue centre.
    - Jim has couch pillows of both Connor Cat and Charlotte :)
    [Other Notes]
    - Jim does not accept donations at this time but asks that you watch the ads before and during his videos. He gets paid by CZcams Adsense for every ad viewed on the site.
    - Jim’s wife, who sadly passed away in 2003, was the one that had started feeding the raccoons; per her request, Jim continued feeding them.
    - Jim spends roughly $2000 a month on food for the raccoons.
    - He used to have 26 cats at one time.
    - Though he’s been filming since 2009, Jim has been feeding raccoons for roughly 20 years.
    - When he first started, there were only 2-3 raccoons.
    - Sometimes, other animals (e.g. blue jays) would eat the raccoon's leftovers (if there are any!)
    - Jim has a slight hearing problem so he isn’t actually “shouting” at Connor Cat, Charlotte, and/or the raccoons :)
    (The collected information is taken from other commenters, feel free to correct me if I made any mistakes or if you have any more names/descriptions to add! I have yet to remember all of their names and their respective habits as well, haha!)
