Splish Splash Raccoon Party!

Haven't seen a raccoon at my Lower Riv residence in a long while. No opossums either. Kind of sad that these raccoons get so excited over a tiny shallow planter dish of water. Imagine how ecstatic they would be with a much larger bowl or a few bowls of water.

Did you catch the two skunks that got in the mix at about 10sec into the video?

That looked like fun Thanks...:)

Great fun
Send to Ginger Zee, at Good Morning America....she shows cute animal videos every morning.

Really fun video. Loved the song, it could have been written for these guys. The old song was always good to jitterbug to in the real Rock 'n Roll days. Thanks for sharing, I agree it should go to Good Morning America.

Funny the raccoons cleared out while the skunk pair visited, respect!

I made the mistake once of not closing my car windows when we had a raccoon family visiting - one of them got in my car, opened up my gum "car cup" thingy and chewed up all my gum and spit it out. Luckily none of the fabric was ripped lol but, paw prints all over!

What a fun way to start the day!
Thank you for sharing the video.

Thanks! What fun! This goes on at my place, but I don't have a night camera. But I do see the tracks and dirty water in the A.M. The skunks leave cute little prints; the possum leaves bigger ones. In the day last year I saw bobcats drinking at different times, and just recently rabbits. With the drought they all need water. Originally dishes were set out for the birds, now the whole gang comes!

Hah, the skunks at 0:09 were hilarious. Our neighborhood has been overrun by squirrels this year, first time in decades. Wonder if the fire/drought drove more critters into the urban areas?

Lucky for those trespassing no-good varmints that they're at your house not mine! Charismatic fauna may seem cute to city folk, but they are a downright unwelcome nuisance to those of us whose livelihoods depend on the crops they damage.

Three days later, still watching it for giggles. Thanks for the fun! My country friends love it too.
