Animals have been a part of human society for thousands of years.
They helped us hunt and farm, they protected our homes and they provided food.
Today, they are still essential companions to many people.
But what if you suddenly found an animal in need?
And that will the racoon.
Kat Wagg accidentally found a baby raccoon who was on the brink of death.
He was severely malnourished and dehydrated, and his body was badly injured.
Kat immediately decided that he couldn't leave the raccoon to die, but he also didn't want
to force it to live in captivity.
The man took him in and cared for him, planning to set him free, when he gets better.
As time passed, the injuries got better, the raccoon got stronger and bigger, and his fur
became thick.
That's when Kat decided it was time to say goodbye.
And let his friend go into the forest.
But imagine his surprise.
When the raccoon came back home after some time.
Now the raccoon became a full-fledged member of the family, and was named Loki.
He doesn't get locked up and can freely move around the house or go outside.
But he always comes back to the warm and cozy house where his life was saved, where he's
loved, and always welcome.
The fact that a raccoon lives with a man is not very surprising.
As people have raccoons for pets in many countries.
Irritable and nervous people however, should refrain from this idea.
As these animals do not understand the concept of know, raccoons always do what they want.
Also, their little pause will definitely reorganize all of your cabinets, bedside tables and boxes.
Their dexterous fingers, allow them to open doors easily.
So checking out the inside of the fridge is no problem for them.
They can also learn to turn on water and then you'll never get a minute of peace, as your
raccoon will be constantly turning on the tap.
But is it really possible to say no to these eyes?
Here's a few facts about these cute creatures.
Raccoons are originally from north America.
This was confirmed by archaeological excavations.
They are very nimble creatures, who are great at climbing trees and can even hang from horizontal
branches.
They can also rotate their hind feet, nearly 180 degrees.
Raccoons are on the horse.
They equally enjoy eating small crustaceans, fish and insects, as well as fruits, berries,
and nuts.
They can also eat pasta right from the plate.
These fluffy creatures are quite lazy.
They don't dig burrows, but rather prefer to use someone else's house.
An excellent home for them can be an abandoned Badger hole, a hollow tree, or a crevice in
a rock.
Upon seeing an enemy, raccoons will try to flee, And if that doesn't work, they'll play
dead.
And if that also doesn't work, then they will fight.
By the way.
Apart from humans, the natural enemies of raccoons are wolves, bears, lynxes, and other
predators.
Once in a scrape, these animals will use their quick wits and the cunning.
And they are really cunning.
It's also very interesting that raccoons paw prints are very similar to human hand prints.
In America, Raccoons are called the Kings of garbage cans, as they manage to open the
trash cans with their fragile paws.
