Oh my! I have never seen an albino raccoon. Cute.

Wow...never seen one before either! They look cute!

 

[Bottesini]

They are cute.

Very cute! They almost look like possums.

I'm surprised that they'll release them into the neighborhood. Usually albino animals have a lower survival rate in a natural environment.

I cannot see their tails. Maybe they ARE possums.
Yeah, I agree about their chances of surviving.

Why would a mother raccoon take care of possums?

Strong maternal instincts?

Such cute babies!

Being a catmom of 5 I am strongly endeared to (read: MOST! ) types of critters. Yet I think my SO will say "NO !!!!!" to my bringing any raccoons into the house.

You can see their tails when they are in the box. The tails are hairy not rat-like tails.

Maternal animals imprint in weird ways.

There was a lionness who imprinted on an orphaned antelope. Oddly the big cat never ate the antelope.
