In honour of Mother's Day, here's Sally (in the far background) and her three kits playing their version of football. This exercise was not only to give them an enrichment project to explore something novel, but allowed us the ability to view their body mechanics as one appeared to be limping. All three kits have since been weaned a couple months ago and have moved on whereas mom, Sally still remains and visits us. This footage was taken end of January 2017. 2017Jan23 NOTE to commenters: Sally and her kits reside in a region where there hasn't been a case of raccoon rabies for over 25 years which is tracked and verified by the State's Public Health Dept. 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. © Weekly Whiskers All Rights Reserved 17-IPH6SP
