Don't want to diss your ruts, and maybe its just round here, but our raccoons stroll around in small parties of two or three, usually. In our mighty National Parks (I'm talking about BC, left end of Canada) the raccoons are among the most dreaded of the wildlife. Bastards will lurk in the bushes by your campsite, silent as anything, and if you turn your back to a sausage or piece of pie or apple or whatever on your picnic table, they'll be up on the table and back into the bushes like lightning with whatever you thought you were going to eat. Some decades ago I was out there with friends and we'd been boozing a bit and damn if my buddy didn't catch a raccoon with the corner of his eye making off with his steak. Fueled by alcohol and rage, he hurled himself headlong after it into the bush from whence emerged the most awful screaming and thrashing sounds, then came back with his steak only slightly chewed, and a look of immense satisfaction. -T > > On 2/2/2011 9:01 PM, Eric Weir wrote: >> >> On Feb 2, 2011, at 5:08 PM, Igor Roshchin wrote: >> >>> NSFWE Warning: It might not be safe for some work environment. >>> Be careful opening the gallery in presence of children... >>> >>> http://42graphy.org/galleries/roof-love/ >>> >>> This woke me up this morning before the alarm. >>> .... >>> Your comments are welcome. >> >> Spring is just around the corner.
