Raccoons

Saturday, 12 September 2009

They were taken and cared for when they were only a few days old. Roger didn't rear them as pets but rather for education purposes. They don't bite Roger or his family but they could bite strangers and visitors.


Rico is the male and he is bigger in physique. He tried hard to stretch his hands out to catch me! I call the 2 front feet "hands" because they look exactly like our hands - five slender and flexible fingers that grasp and climb. And I was right to call them hands because I found out later in the internet that they were indeed hands. I don't like the look of his claws.





Bandita is the female and she is smaller. This is the only picture I managed to take a solo picture of her.


They look so alike to me. It is not easy to see Bandita and her actions. She is always hiding away in their kennel when I visit.
