Raccoons

If you wanna get away, but not too far away from animals, you need to see this tiny Illinois place that's located inside of a rescue ranch. Animals of just about every variety are everywhere.

Raccoons have a way of getting themselves into difficult situations due to their desire to search trash for food. One Missouri postal worker frequently saves these thieving animals from themselves and just shared video of yet another he rescued from a dumpster.

Authorities found a disturbing situation involving wild animals in a Sandwich, Illinois home. 20 wild animals including several who were deceased have been removed and police are trying to determine if charges are justified.

A Missouri family set up a trail cam to keep track of wildlife traversing their property. Their newest video share looks something along the lines of a Missouri version of "Jungle Book" with raccoons, deer, foxes and possums.

Of all of natures animals, there is none more talented than a raccoon when it comes to what they're capable of to get to a food source. As exhibit A, I present to you a Midwestern raccoon who contorted himself like a gymnast so he could gain access to a bird feeder.

What would you consider a life career goal? If you're this Illinois woman, you've dreamed of rehabbing raccoons as a new video shows she is covered in tiny raccoon babies.

I have found a place that is as close to The Jungle Book that I've ever seen in Missouri. It's a cabin nestled next to Huzzah Creek and it's quite literally surrounded by critters.

I've heard of break-ins of Quincy apartments, but this is a new one. There is a report that invaders did intrude on some Quincy residents living spaces today and they were...raccoons?

I spent a good part of my childhood enjoying the Missouri outdoors near my grandma's farm. That's probably why I still spend more time than I probably should watching trail cam videos. One Missouri cam had a most curious creature appear and I can't pinpoint exactly what it is.

Have you ever seen something and immediately asked yourself the question "why?". I think I can safely say that's the case with this video moment showing a Missouri dog who has become fast friends with a raccoon.
