What do rescue baby raccoons do at the shelter after staff go home - Catherine - 08-24-2026
A wildlife center was curious about its rescue baby racoons. What do they do after staff go hoe at night.
A camera reveals the truth. They playfight for hours, clearly having much fun.

Out in the wild they would be playing in our gardens. I have seen them in my garden.
In a cage, at a shelter, they would still have the same night time energy.
So of course they playfight and carry on all night.
