Texas Backyard Wildlife | A raccoon family at play by the magic tree den @TexasBackyardWildlife | Uploaded February 2020 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Every night for about a month in the late summer of 2019 a mama raccoon brought her 5 almost-grown pups to the magic tree den playpen so they could scuffle and play. We call this space a "playpen" because it's completely surrounded by brush and safe from coyotes. There are 3 playpens, and the fox and raccoon families all seem to enjoy spending time in them.
Mama usually joined the fun, at least for a while. Sometimes though she preferred to just sit on her bottom, like a furry little Buddha, and watch the young ones romp.
