Just Waking Up From My Nap

raccoon dangling in a tree to sleep
 

Photo Description
Raccoons are nocturnal animals meaning they are active at night and sleep during the day. But where do raccoons sleep during the day? Well I got my answer the other day. I looked up into the tree above my back deck one morning and saw this raccoon lying on a limb. Its front and back legs were dangling over the limb and it was sound asleep. I quickly got my phone out to take a photo. It woke up and gave me a look. Once I took the photo, it went back to sleep. It stayed in the same place all day long. Once it started getting dark, it was gone. I hope it had a good night hunting because it sure had a restful day.

That is such a beautiful picture!! I love raccoons. I am a raccoon rehabilitation worker. Here in Saskatchewan Canada, we have some terrible red neck farmers that think they are vermin and should be done away with. They get rid of the Moms and then give us the babies.

I just shake my head. I do love taking care of them though. We then relocate them when they are old enough to a spot where humans won't bother them. I commend you on letting nature be nature. Love Dawn
