racoon

Procyon lotor

Notes:

this raccoon had been washing his hands and getting a drink out at a pond on an old abandoned golf corse. he was so into these guys walking there dogs he didn't notice me walk up behind him. when he saw me he stood up for a few seconds and full out ran. i was happy that he didn't stick around my experience with raccoons is a weird one, we had some sort of messed up coon near our house it was chasing people and making weird noises we thought maybe it had kits but we found it dead near the pool two days later.
