Kukla the Baby Raccoon

UPDATE: Since so many people have asked, Kukla was since released into the wild and is happily living on my friend's property in upstate New York. He is now almost three years old and is reportedly very happy with his new home in the woods.
ORIGINAL VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Today I helped a baby raccoon, whom we named Kukla. He fell out of a tree they had cut down and were grinding up. His mother abandoned him when their home got destroyed, and he was left crying for her for 24 hours before our neighbors took him in. He was starving and in severe shock, but by the time I started filming, he was starting to drink the baby formula we'd gotten for him, and of course we all fell in love with him.
But beware watching this all the way through...his screams get old real fast.

I love people who love animals. God bless all of you.

[@ellenwinter9591]

Glad you guys have the chance to put him back in the wild and he's ok. He was adorable as a baby and I think it was hard for you not to keep him

It is impossible that this baby could be any more cute.... SO adorable... You have a very happy home.. Good for you!!

[@cristinahowell1926]

I feed wild raccoons every night. I have a momma that has been coming up the last 2 weeks. I know this because she stood on her back feet and I could see where she is being suckled. I hope she brings her babies in a few weeks.

[@effzero7211]

How's the raccoon and her babies?

[@jaimegonzalez2941]

I need to know!

[@AngehPanduh]

I love when people look after abandoned animals its such a great thing we can do for them

[@LittleLulubee]

He is so sweet and PRECIOUS. I'm so glad he's happy in the woods now :)

[@hondafoxgirl04]

very cute video. I am glad you are there to help. We have a few racoons that come to our house every night so we make sure food and water is out each night to care for them. They sure love to wash their hands and play water. It is so cute to watch them.

[@gabriellebudd1166]

all animals give us unconditional love... They certainly are a gift from God and those who take care of them God will richly bless them

[@riripari2042]

Now you know this baby is living the life compared to all the other ones out in the streets. The kit lucked out.

[@KatherineUribe-1]

I'm so happy Kukla is free and happy! Bless you for taking him in! 💗

This brings back so many memories..I raised a little raccoon who had lost it's mother. She was a dear little thing.

[@marcellinechoisne5627]

[@beecharmer47]

LOVED THE VIDEO.....THANKS FOR SHARING....WE HAVE A MAMA AND PAPA COME WITH THEIR FAMILY OF 6 BABIES , EVERYDAY. THEY ARE VERY ADORABLE.

[@PotatoGunsRule]

I did the same thing in 2005 to 2006 with abandoned squirrels. I built them a house, hung it in my tree, and released after two months' slow "acclimation" to the outside. It was one of the best experiences of my life.

[@edwardjeffries735]

when i see people take in wild baby animals it makes me think there's still people in this world that arnt heartless monsters my grandfather and mother have takin in so many of these guys it made me always look forward to being able to do so also

[@tomsenft7434]

Edward Jeffries: 500 years from now, thanks to people like this (and my family, ) racoons will be housepets.

[@drewminer1912]

Edward Jeffries Your Grandfather and Mother deserve to be on tv!

[@lexistapleton6691]

What a cutie pie. I luv raccoons, raccoon babies even more. They have places in every state the do rehabilitation and what they call a soft release it lets them get used to other baby raccoons and gradually get use to being in the wild. Also with a baby raccoon you should use a regular baby bottle 🍼 the bent bottles are even better. They also need help going urinating and pooping with a few gentle wipes from a warm wet paper towel. Super cool that u cared enough to help him.

[@savecityofheroessavecityof5838]

SO CUTE! LOOKS LIKE A PUPPY DOG. Then there is your sweet kitty

[@aprilrain1228]

Nice to see parents teaching there children how to love & respect living beings. :)

[@THESHOMROM]

We raised a baby raccoon my dad rescued when In was a kid. He had to be bottle fed. He'd hold his own bottle. He was a great pet. Lots of fun and lots of laughs.

[@Ronny68100]

Beautiful....

[@foxibot]

It reminds me of my dad who was the “ animal whisperer” with the little baby on the dad’s shoulder. Obviously felt very comfortable and safe with dad.

[@aevenova9780]

Awwww!!!! Raccoons are soooo cute!!!!!! Eeeeepp!!!!

[@elizabetharthur2679]

Damm 8 years ago !!! I hope kukla is having great days♡

[@CJack14dt]

I had a couple of these as pets when I was little. I would find them abandoned in the barn. The best discovery I ever made was that they take absolutely no issue with wearing make-shift diapers out of old wash clothes and bobby pins.

[@conniee.]

Oh my, sooo adorable. I used to watch Kukla Fran and Oli when I was a kid. :D

[@DragonsEqualLife]

@SilverBunnyStudios I know, he's the most adorable thing!! But raccoons aren't really friendly after the first year, their wild instincts take over, so we're going to rehabilitate him as best we can and then slowly release him back into the wild over the course of a few months :)

[@oletamarsh2216]

I adopted Rocket when he was only a few weeks old, he'll be turning 3 years old at the end of February and he's not aggressive at all , he loves to rough house with his adopted dog sisters, but he is never threatening to them , I had intended to release Rocket after he was old enough, but decided not to because he is to trusting with other animals and I am so afraid of what could happen to him , besides I have let him outside my house before and he wasn't having it at all , he doesn't like any doors shut between me and him. I can't even take a bath without having to leave the door opened lol

[@danfarris135]

@@oletamarsh2216They can be a life long friend if you let them. 15 years for quite a few that we have had.

that thing is amazingly tame. a baby raccoon that is actually wild would have started trying to tear meat off you and gone straight into the trash every chance it got

[@aprilrain1228]

the kitties adorable too :)

[@dynodish]

You guys are good people.

[@verilyheld]

We have a family of raccoons living near to us, sometimes I see them in the mornings and evenings. I like to think (but I'm not about to test it!) they like me because once they were trapped in a big garbage bin. There wasn't enough garbage in it for them to climb out. I found a cardboard box, put it in the bin (they kept an eye on me, I avoided eye contact) and they used that to climb out.

[@OldHoboManYouTube]

Awwww so cute I love baby raccoons

[@Asidders]

This video warms my heart :)

[@savecityofheroessavecityof5838]

SO CUTE like a baby puppy dog

[@SweetRian]

Raccoons can be dangerous but if you have baby raccoons they can be trained not to hurt or bite. Yes they are prone to get rabies quicker than some animals so you need to be careful.

[@sargonasuravi1]

KUKLA is a Russian word , it means DOLL, as a toy the girls play with. Adorable baby raccoon.

[@LutzDerLurch]

Oh my friggin goodness, this is so sweet, my teeth are melting!

[@pattamapat]

God...this is very cute!!!

[@jeerowe12]

OMG SOOOOO cute! Just remember being he is now in captivity you cannot ever let him back into the wild (I know nag nag nag). I have always read that raccoons could not be domesticated.... I want a baby coon soooo bad! But with all of the youtube vids out here maybe they can be domesticated???? I hope he stays with you and is safe forever! They are such amazing and unique lil creatures!

[@Mkoberland]

He's a cutie!

[@MrDelux1212]

"Kukla" means doll on Macedonian. "The More You Know...

[@emilphoryew9436]

That's what I was thinking.

[@asuyaz]

in Soviet Russia/Azerbaijan it means doll too

[@VFXTOAST]

Amazing! Thank you for the update!

[@valeypadilla288]

Awwwwww cuttest thing ever

[@DanielleCrookMusic]

I think it's great they rescued this raccoon. THe best step to take afterwards though would be to take him to a native animal rescue, where they rehab wild animals and release them into the wild, or if they deem the animal unable to survive in the wild, they find a proper sanctuary for them. Its pretty unrealistic to keep a pet raccoon in a home like a cat or dog- they tear everything up.

[@kendrak7406]

so adorable!!

[@tximeleta35]

Beautiful video! We don´t have racoons in Spain, you,re lucky!
