Pinky hasn't been by for some time. He showed up with some injuries most likely from fights with the other boars typically seen during breeding season.  He has a laceration under his chin, several puncture wounds on each paw and each of the nostrils were torn and punctured. Most of the wounds are healing now, but if you listen carefully at the end of the video you'll hear a bit of congestion when he breaths.  

NOTE: Our rescue raccoons resides in a region where there hasn't been a case of raccoon rabies for over three decades which is tracked by the local public health department. 

We are fortunate to be able to observe and professional work with a variety of wildlife species since we reside next to a protected wildlife preserve. Our rescue raccoons lounge and play on our terrace as well as use it as a thoroughfare. No children nor pets are ever harmed, especially the wild animals captured in these videos. 

Please note that none of the raccoons are our pets thus please follow your local wildlife guidelines for the safety of humans and animal wildlife alike.
