And now for something completely different...
Remember the raccoon who staged his own solo Christmas party in Ashland, Virginia? Now we have the 'rest of the story.' And Hanover County Animal Protection Services raised over $250,000 to boot (see https://www.bonfire.com/trashed-panda/).
I admit to being a member of the anthropodenial crowd.

Maj William W. 'Bill' Price I loved this article. My son is a science lover! I need to find a print option.

PO3 Phyllis Maynard There doesn't appear to be a good print option for this article. I tried copying the text of the article into a new Word file on my computer, and came up with something a little over 3 pages. So maybe that is a solution you could use.

Maj William W. 'Bill' Price We have lots of raccoons on our property. They love digging in garbage cans to find whatever they can that is edible. We have found then trapped in our trash cans on occasions when we forget to put the block on top of the lid. They are fun to watch but very dirty critters! Whenever nature gives them the urge, they will poop anywhere.
