Default Racoon in a Barrel
My fiancee and I were bored one night so we walked to the park. There was a picnic area and we sat down to enjoy the night scape and the breeze going by. We heard a scratching sound. I though it came from a near by trash can and I told him to knock the lid off. With some more interrogation I got him to.
Lo and behold this poor baby was trapped inside.

racoon

We knocked the can over so he (if it wasn't a her) could get out

It is amazing what you find. I bet you were glad you had your camera. Thanks for sharing this unusual moment.

Your lucky that thing didn't tear you to shreds! Racoons are nasty fiesty little bastards.

That is such a great story and great shot. We had a raccoon once who would 'knock' on our door so that we could put some cat food out for him.
