This is Spicer, a young male raccoon who's poorly injured. He's quite thin and has sustained a series of bad bite wounds behind his neck and shoulder blades and has a right hind leg injury. Sadly these types of injuries are commonly associated with boars who viciously fight against one another to compete for the rights to breed with the females. Spicer is Cinnamon's son from her 2012 litter. We don't know if he'll return or this will be the last time we'll see him. We hope he will revisit so we can monitor his injuries and intervene if necessary. 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 14-IPH5
