Wow! So cloooose!

So close you can almost feel the whiskers.

RAAAAABBBBBIIIIEEEESSS!

Rabies? In my corn flakes?

Very nice image! My raccoons have not emerged yet...too early for 'em, too cold yet.

Thanks! I dunno why, but 'My Raccoons Have Not Emerged' seems like a great title for an album. :3

So adorable...

I certainly think so. :3

This is a great portrait, I like his little exposed canine :)

That, and the one curly little whisker on the end of his nose.

awh! I see it now, that is very adorable :)

What an awesome shot!

Well, thanks! :3

It's the real Sly Cooper! I think I see Carmelita reflected in his eyes

Nice photo!

Heh... actually, I think that's me.

Whoa, yellow pupil! And it's so tiny, they must have excellent night vision...

It's where his x-ray vision comes from. :3

nice picture.

Thanks! :3

First of all, this is just too cool, it really does make me want to pet him. And yet, I cannot.

Someone else mentioned the little canine and I do think that is very cute. However, I really haven't gotten a chance to see many pictures of raccoons, a certainly not any this close, so I hope you don't mind me asking but do you know if all raccoons' jaws are natural like that, or is it just this one in particular?

Finally, I didn't notice your reflection in his eye until you mentioned it in a comment, but now I can't not see it. It's almost eerie to see how well that reflection works.

Thanks again for sharing your photography, it's always great to see one f your pictures pop up in my messages. ^^

Nope, not a good idea to pet a raccoon. :P

As far as I know, this guy's jaw is typical of a standard, healthy raccoon... the incisor poking out would seem to be a normal thing (just not something that usually shows up in mid-range photos).

Thanks kindly... always happy to share whatever pix I'm lucky enough to snap. :3

Love the closeup of those markings. He looks so cuddly an' fuzzy-like. c:

Nature spent a bit of extra time decorating the raccoon, I think.
