Interspecies meeting.

We have visiting raccoons in the backyard.

The raccoons attempt to drink from our birdbath but can’t always stretch far enough to make that work.

So along with their food, I put out a pan of water last night.

.

.

To which the raccoon didn’t pay the slightest bit of attention.

.

.

At one point he practically sat in it, but wouldn’t drink.

.

.

Enter a baby woodchuck.

.

.

The raccoon is three times as big, but was terrified of the little chucker.

.

.

And when baby made a mad dash for food, the raccoon startled… banging into the pan, spraying water over them both.

.

.

That sent baby chucker back to the shed….

.

.

And made the raccoon realize what the pan was for.

  1. Had a raccoon walking on our fence last night. It wasn’t even that late. Did give me the stink eye, though. Guess I need to keep a baby woodchuck on my person at all times to be safe.

    I wonder if they have baby woodchuck holsters. I’ll bet Temu or AliExpress carry them…

  3. I’ve got the bird version of this covered since i live on either a really small lake or a really big pond. Anyway, you want ducks and geese? Got ’em. You want cranes or the occasional eagle. Yep. Catch me on the right day and I can even do bullfrogs and turtles.

  4. Omg so adorable!!

    Now I know why Tucker’s outdoor water dish is always empty in the morning, when I fill it in later afternoon and he rarely drinks from it at that time. Must be our little chucker who comes for a drink. 🙂
