RACCOON FRIDAY!
Getting braver by the day! 🦝💚🫶🏻
It’s RACCOON Friday!!
So we have a couple of Videos and pictures to share with you all.
Marion, Winnipeg, Dakota, Alma and Myrtle are settled in their offshow enclosure. They are eating and playing as expected. However they are still quite nervous of the keepers but we’ve managed to get some pics and videos of them for you all.
We are working on their enclosure and hope to have them back on-show as soon as possible, it still won’t be for at least a couple more weeks at the earliest
Thanks to Harley our Lead Keeper for this cute video! 💚🦝
Here’s the moment on video that we caught the final Raccoon! 🦝
