A Lounging Raccoon In Oklahoma

I was driving along the auto tour road at the Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma when I saw something that made me laugh out loud. There, on its back in the grass, was a raccoon grooming itself. It was so relaxed and unconcerned about my presence that it didn’t even flinch when I stuck my camera and lens out the window and took a photo.

I’ve always found raccoons to be funny animals. They’re so clever and resourceful, and they always seem to be up to something. This particular raccoon was no exception. It was taking its time, carefully grooming its fur with its paws. It was like it was saying, “I’m not going anywhere. You can just sit there and watch me if you want.”

But here’s the thing – Raccoons are more than just cute, furry little animals. Did you know that they’re actually pretty darn smart? In fact, they’re known for their problem-solving skills, which makes sense when you think about how they manage to get into our trash cans despite our best efforts to keep them out.

Here Are Some More Unique Facts About Raccoons:
