My girlfriend and I were on a bicycle ride when I saw a baby raccoon at the outside edge of a park. We stopped to check it out, keeping our distance. After a few minutes we were going to leave when the little guy came chasing after me. To be clear, we did not do ANYTHING at all to coax it to us. it just came up to me and sniffed my shoes. It started climbing my girlfriends bike trying to get closer to us.
At any rate, it's a very freindly little thing. I'm not sure it can really fend for itself yet or I'd just take it someplace safe and drop it off. It's about 14-15 inches from nose to tail and roughly the size of a 6 week old cat.
I just don't have the heart to turn it loose when I doubt very much that it'll be safe.
Anyone have any suggestions?
