Drunk Raccoons

[Catherine]

Our birds get into fermented fruit to. It is priceless. You can never tell when fruit is going to ferment.
Trust our raccoons to get really drunk and pass out in people's gardens. 

Our raccoons are a never ending source of the ridiculous and funny.
I had a three seater swing on my back deck and I looked out one night and it was swinging back and forth gently with a raccoon sitting on it. The creature was sitting up like a person and was clearly very comfortable having a nice evening swing.

Raccoons are Toronto's unofficial mascot and we call them trash pandas. They get into so many things.

That video of the raccoon opening the green bin is disturbing. The city spent a lot of money to develop those bins. They are for food waste and the lids lock. That raccoon knew how to turn the lock mechanism so he could get at the food waste. If he knows then they all know. Raccoons seem to share knowledge very quickly. I wonder if they have little raccoon meetings or do they pass things learned from one to the other across the city.

You have to love the trash panda.
