[@princelypigeoncosplay]

this is so insanely sweet and unexpected, thank you so much! I'm honoured you even thought of me, and honoured that it led to all of this wonderful raccoon appreciation hehehe

As someone who volunteers at Artisklas, glad to see 'my' zoo being represented!

[@justGoron]

That's awesome! It's a really nice place, if I'm ever in the area again I should drop by

[@megadracosaurus]

@@justGoron You should! When was the last time you visited?

[@justGoron]

@@megadracosaurus sometime in the summer last year! It was my proudest day, I did 5 things in one day haha Botanical garden Leiden, vlinders aan de Vliet, artisklas, Animal Farm Beverwijk, and Blijdorp on the way home! Some constitution was being done of the viewing are of the Rhea I remember

[@megadracosaurus]

@@justGoron Ya got that right, and its done now to! I highly recommend you come back next summer to! We're still working on a couple of projects, but the rhea section is done now! How were the garden en Vlinders aan de Vliet? I've heard of them, but I never visited. Blijdorp I adore, its one of my favorite zoos. Animal Farm...Last time I visited with my cousin, we didn't have such high thoughts on it to be honest. Not a volunteer in sight, lots of work to be desired and most enclosures were empty, or filled with standard domestic animals. I did hear they got new managment, so I hope they'll improve in the future.

This is so good! Researching these takes me a while to get good stuff. Thank you

Cuties! I've only ever seen raccoons in the wild. As an American, I live in their native range. Although I've seen plenty of other local species in zoos, I've never actually seen a raccoon in one.

[@megadracosaurus]

Yeah, raccoons aren't super popular in American zoos for some reason. But in Europe, they're a staple species. I've rarely visited a zoo in Europe that didn't have raccoons.

Artisklas is called this way beacause, the founder was an old employee of Artis. Who had wild animals in his garage to teach give stuff. So i got the nickname “artisklas” Eventualy the city of haarlem gave him a plot land, so he doesnt give any trouble with neighbours

[@justGoron]

@@owensluis8983 neat!

[@Aramar5]

Help! These bandits stole my heart 🥰

That wildlands habitat has some amazing landscaping. By the way would you do a Komodo Dragon episode in the future?

[@justGoron]

Komodo's are very high on the list of animals I want to do sooner rather than later! Expect it shortly after we get through the animals for the upcomign DLC :)

[@GibbonLord]

Fun fact: raccoons dont wash their food to make it clean but the rubbing and water makes their nerve endings in the hands more sensitive to feel everything. By the way you can see wild invasive raccoons in natuurpark Lelystad. 2 weeks ago i was fishing next to it and saw a very big raccoon eating kfc trash. By far the biggest raccoon i ever saw and the only wild one. Ive documented racoon tracks and feces for over 3 years there.

I've seen northern raccoons at Hertfordshire zoo, Wingham wildlife park and Drusilla's though unfortunately, none of the three have them anymore.

[@carminecdinoproductions]

Happy Late Raccoon Appreciation Day! 🦝

[@mixelmusprime5275]

Why isn't Rostock zoo in this video since they house northern raccoons as well?

[@justGoron]

they are behind the scenes from what I could tell, I didn't see them at least. Edit: yeah zootierliste also mentions it: "Zur Zeit hinter den Kulissen" which means currently behind the scenes.
