We’re plagued by raccoons right now. The little buggers have a den up under our neighbours’ roof, right next to our rooftop terrace. They usually come out at dusk to begin scavenging for food—after they’ve used our terrace as their personal, conveniently-located latrine, of course. Pretty gross!
Over the weekend it rained heavily, so we were stuck inside most of the time. At one point I was looking out the window at the back yard during a lull in the deluge, when I saw two of the young raccoons climbing up our fence. I’m not sure if they were just being playful and curious, or if they were looking for food, but it was certainly unusual to see them out during the day.
As much as they can be pests, they’re also damn cute, the little devils!
I managed to grab my camera and and shoot some footage of the inquisitive critters before startling them. See video below.
