Yes, @papa-pepper also enjoys mammals.
This small Raccoon was seen running around by himself. I thought that I might detain him momentarily to get some quick photos and shoot a little video. I must admit, I’ve been spoiled with the insects, reptiles, and amphibians. This little guy was a lot more difficult to work with than some of those.
Raccoons (Procyon lotor) unfortunately only live about 2 – 3 years in the wild due to the large amount that are killed by vehicles on the road and by hunters. These late night omnivores with their “bandit” masks are very interesting creatures, but they can prove to be a nuisance for humans in some situations.
This one was super-cute, but defensive enough too. He would growl and try to bite me in an attempt to defend himself. In the end, I got some great photos though, of something that was not a reptile!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Very nice photos! They are defensive and fearless... My father-in-law found 5-6 babies near the side of the road. Their mother had been hit and we wanted to shoo them off into the bushes so they wouldn't get hit also. Racoons don't shoo- they stand and fight!

We have a racoon who regularly visits our house. She loves to destroy our garbage can. I named her the mother of all raccoons because she is huge.

Nice post and cute little raccoon. We rescued one of these when land was being cleared and raised him on a doll bottle. He was a wonderful little pet and my 4 yr. old daughter carried him over her shoulder like a cat.

I reckon, with a little direction from Pinkie, it could be better than the introduction to the animal.
Behind the scenes, mud and all, you could take over the 'funny' tab with them.
Kids don't take long to master a camera, yours is small and light enough for Pinkie to use now. compared to the old tape machines that needed a football player to carry, much less shoot'
