Raccoons in Pool

Video Title :	Raccoons in Pool
Description :	Who is that masked animal? Raccoons are nocturnal, preferring a woodland near water, but can adapt to an urban lifestyle. As an expert climber, they have typical den sites in large hollow trees, ground burrows or abandoned buildings. Sometimes known for their nightly raids of local garbage cans. These animals are not trying to be a nuisance, they're just trying to survive. These two raccoons were kept in a home for several weeks before being brought to Willowbrook. By then they were hopelessly tame, and now must spend the rest of their lives here. Here, they are given a portion of their food (diet dog chow) in a pvc pipe drilled with holes. They like to take the pipe to a pool of water to help extract the morsels to then eat. This is known as 'enrichment.' Captive animals are easily bored and need mental and physical stimulus like any other living individual. Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Illinois strongly urges the public to not have or keep wildlife as pets. For more info, please visit www.willowbrookwildlife.com
