That's a nice story, thanks. I had a pet raccoon when I was a
kid,,,weighed 1.5 pounds when I got him, became my good buddy. I still
have a soft spot for them, would never hurt one.

There's a documentary movie out called "Raccoon Nation".

I enjoyed it.... and it points out that at least one person studying
raccoons thinks they are evolving intelligence-wise right before our
eyes - as they adapt to city life.
