It was hard to get a good picture because it was so high up the tree.
I swear I am not planning to rescue it

Blond raccoon?
To continue my wildlife adventures, came across this Raccoon, I think? but what seems to me a very light color?

I haven't had the opportunity to harvest a blonde or albino coon, yet..... but photos of them are published fairly regularly in Fur, Fish and Game magazine.

yep, a bit light, probably a one year old....they'll get a little darker with age, we have a bunch that are that colour around my place, makes the stripes on them look so much darker LOL. looks good though, nice coat. pretty healthy looking.

I would tend to go along with Ross. Any washed out coloured coons around us act sickly. We try to shot them before the dogs take them down.
