Rescued Baby Raccoons Enjoy the Ultimate Relaxation Session in a Hammock [Video]

Raccoons get a bad reputation for being “bandits” or unwanted “pests.” Sure, these nocturnal creatures like to tear apart our garbage cans, but that doesn’t mean they’re criminals! Raccoons play a very important role in our local ecosystems. We really should thank them for cleaning up food scraps and controlling rodent populations.

The raccoons in this video are getting the “Thank You” they deserve from their caretaker. As a certified wildlife rehabber, Elizabeth Hartman knows a thing or two about how to appreciate a raccoon and has set these babies up with a hammock.

All seven of these masked furballs were found as orphans and will need ample care before they are ready to be released back into the wild. The good news is that they get to chillax in a sweet hammock until that day comes.

So, do you think there’s enough room in there to squeeze us in as well?

NOTE: As an important note, do not try to help wildlife of any sort unless you are trained. Find a local wildlife rehabber/rescuer or veterinarian ASAP, or call a rescue hotline.
