COLD DARK ROOM

There is an oral rabies vaccine, basically an edible bait, that can be dropped into rural and wilderness areas from the air. It's been done in some places to try to curb the incidence of rabies in the wild animal population.

Oh, WOW!!! That is FANTASTIC!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! THIS IS SO TRUE!!!!!

Ok, food is out, camera is ready, temps are cold, BUT we try for the Koon Kodak Moment

And.....did you know this:

Although raccoons are notorious for carrying rabies, there has only been one recorded human death from raccoon rabies in the United States.

Other Fun Facts

• A raccoon will rinse its food in water prior to eating it. When there is no water close by, a raccoon will still rub its food to remove debris.

• Some hypothesize that the purpose of a raccoon's black mask is to reduce glare, helping it to see better in the dark.

• A group of raccoons is called a nursery.

• Although raccoons only live 2-3 years in the wild, a raccoon can live up to 20 years in captivity.

Racoons are amazing animals. And SO CUTE....but only as long as they stay FAR away from my torts!!!!

Maybe the masked pair are holed up in someone's doghouse?

Oh my gosh. That brings back memories. If the dogs feel like sleeping at that moment they will share with the brave bandits.

I absolutely love raccoons. They are American panda bears. Their little hands have a texture that is so sweet it's like silk. Yet they can work their little hands into anything except a keyed lock. Experts say they're nocturnal but I've seen them playing together, in their nursery, in the daytime. It's siesta.

YES, indeed!!!!

Ordinarily I would love to help with spring cleaning in the CDR, but right now I'm very busy getting things ready for my new turtle baby, to be delivered in about 2 weeks! Much to do in preparation.
Hugs to all.

Wow!! That’s amazing news, Bea! Thank you for giving us a heads-up [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️

My body hurt so bad last night. I ended up taking NyQuil and slept like baby except when the thunder rolled in.
Today I managed to clean kitchen and relax on the sofa watching 3 episodes of This is Us.

Thank you for cleaning the CDR kitchen. I feel guilty now: you’re not 100% and we’ve asked you do clean...

Crows and other members of that family are pretty intelligent.
Have you seen anything like this before?

Brings the whole concept of altruism to new heights! [emoji50]

Jacques will be in her NEW 40 gallon breeder tank!!! She'll have twice the space she's ever had, so it'll be a whole new world for her!!!!
The new baby will go in the 20 gallon long tank that Jacques has been in all this time.
They'll never be in the same tank, since they are different types of turtles.

But I'm keeping the identification of the new baby a secret until he/she arrives! Then anyone who wants to guess what species it is can do so! The first person to guess correctly will win a prize!!!!!
I'm posting about the upcoming baby over in the Water Turtles section under the title "Maybe, Baby???" in case you want to have a peek!!!

I was going to ask what the new baby will be [emoji23] I’d better go read up on turtle identification... [emoji8]

Happy belated birthday, @Toddrickfl1 (formerly known as Your Majesty )!



Exciting plans -- looking forward to reading more about them.

 

[Kristoff]

Just as long as it isn't a mud pie...

 

[Kristoff]

Dang weather!!!! We are not too far ahead of you and I’m sick of it already!!!! And NOW it’s interfering with cute coon pics... this is just UNACCEPTABLE!!!

Happy Wednesday everyone [emoji851]View attachment 266651

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! THIS IS SO TRUE!!!!!

Enough to drive anyone... bananas..!
Happy Thursday!
The weekend is nigh......

 

[Maro2Bear]

Have any of you heard raccoons referred to as trash pandas?

Yep...local news showed a racoon up in one of the local eagle nests that is monitored via webcam. Egg stealers.... “Trash Pandas”

A new Pancake Turtle would have been perfect had it arrived on Tuesday. Hmmm, it’s arriving in a box...maybe a Box Turtle.

No coon party last night, but, we did spot three different cats stopping by for a late evening snacks.

19 degrees F again overnight. I’m guessing they slept in.

I tweeted this pix out yesterday, but I don’t think I put it here. Check out that landing.
