Racoon Attack Photo

Photographer’s Note

Snapped this shot at the Singapore Zoological Gardens. This particular pack of raccoons would keep darting in and out view unless someone starting waving a treat in front... *then* they'd all come out to greet the visitors!

Took me a good while and a couple of shots to get the perfect grouping and direction.

I love the zoological park, it is so logical, to put the food where they have to find it.

Well done and you did snap them in a good time.

excellent

Nothing like a dose of good briberies to make others do your bidding ;-)). These chaps look cute and soft - and imploring ;-).

So cute, I've never see a group of racoons like that, i didn't know they were living in groups, except for the family group. It's fun to see how they pose for the photo. The colors are nice too. Are racoons native to Asia? I didn't think so. In fact I thought that they were native of North America, maybe because of the Davy Crocket hat made of racoon hide with the tale hanving behind. What about Europe ? Do you have racoons ?
