Cute Baby Raccoons in Trouble, Mother to the Rescue

I heard a thud followed by a bunch of strange screaming. A baby raccoon fell out the window of the building they were nesting in. The mother keeps traveling between the two crying babies, while looking for a way to bring the fallen one back up. The racoon in the building was more freaked out, they couldn't see their sibling.The situation lasted about 45 minutes, the mother went between the two screaming babies many more times, but I cut out for times sake.

[@Mimi-74]

What a good Mama ❣️ She looked stressed, going back and forth from one screaming baby to the other. But it also looks like she carefully mapped out the safest way to haul her baby back up, and she succeeded.

[@craigthibodeaux4606]

Good mommy

[@Lite93891]

WOW!!! What she had to go through!!! She had to go back and comfort the other one while trying to save the one who fell. Good job!!! Bravo, Mama Raccoon!!!

[@bandersnatchful]

She was deciding whether it was worth it, lugging the one up or just pitching the other one out :)

[@patstone3259]

This is why I'm not a raccoon... I'd have knocked the other one down and just went down for both of em. Lol

[@bobbillings]

8:20 momma just studying intently at the structure how she gonna get Lil baby back upstairs. Utterly amazing. People think animals are stupid. This video proves otherwise. Such a heartwarming ending brought tear to me eye. God I love animals and nature.

[@cacatr4495]

My thoughts too. I watched a video of a baby bear following his mom all the way up a rock-face, the cub studying the cliff for hand-holds, making course corrections. YES!, they're very intelligent. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnKlamCMfK6esK8 It is Man that proves how stupid he is, when he wrongly thinks the Creatures " dumb". We can watch any Young with his or her mom, and see MUCH intelligence, and also courage, like the baby mountain goat courageously crossing a rushing snow-melt river to obey-follow his mom to the other side. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHfGdIx5pp1ofqM Those videos are IMPRESSIVE!! and Moving! Inspiring! Wow! To get the links for you, I just watched them again, and the Creatures have much to teach us about " Calm, Assertive Energy", " faith" that refuses fear. Highly recommended.

[@rainbowdeep9234]

Animals attack people because we're dumb and they are smart .

[@joylesile8195]

Yes so cute mother bonding 💞💞🌏💯

[@victorjarrosoxley1400]

In a beginning we are animals, descendent of apes, and yes some of us , sadly a lot are stupid, but nature makes its own way and you could see it in this video no human intervention nor help of any kind, she was able to take the child up there even if she knew she was been watched.

[@dancepiglover]

You could really see the wheels turning in her head while she was trying to figure it out.

[@lisad7788]

OMG...baby raccoons are so adorable. I heard those annoying cries through my walls for 2 months when I had a family of raccoons living in my attic/walls. She's a wonderful mama.

[@TunnelJumper]

Somebody needs to get her a glass of wine.

[@missjeanferalcatsrmylife5335]

Oh my goodness! I need that glass of wine after watching this!. 😊 So glad that baby was rescued!! Good on the momma raccoon. And, good on the person who filmed and shared this suspenseful but heartwarming day in the life of a momma raccoon. ❤

[@natbb9]

Raccoons are fascinating and they are so needed in the wild. I'm happy this turned out beautifully. What a sweet, smart, and loving momma.

[@Keepskatin]

They are pest,nuisance and threat to small live stock. Also disease spreaders.

[@willy565]

You're extremely ignorant.

[@natbb9]

Willy565 - was that directed at me or at the ass who wrote that raccoons are pests?

[@willy565]

I apologize. No, it was directed to the ignorant person's comment. I adore nature, and fight to keep as much of it alive and well. Raccoons provide a vital role in nature.

[@willy565]

I adore them. It pains me to see so much concrete, and so little trees. The world is off it's rocker, and, unfortunately, I do not see it getting any better. Videos like these reinforce, and "May" possibly educate, the fools that do not understand "Facts." I was screaming about the Bee Population....10 years ago.

[@marybroxmeier5563]

i'm yelling "get back oh my god don't fall, stay there" like the baby racoon could hear me. i'm spent from watching her go up and down so many times, but she never gave up. Stronger bond than some human mothers have.

[@helenscott8202]

Not all animal mothers have that strong a bond, but this one sure does. Some will desert under stress.

[@heidibower2538]

I know how you feel. I wanted to hold and comfort those sweet babies. But realistically that would not bee a good idea.

[@Borednerds]

Amazing video. See how scream stopped once all babies are reunited together with a parent. Great demonstration of raccoons care for cubs.

[@Silkendrum]

Baby raccoons are called kits. They stay with their mother until they are about a year old. Raccoons are very talkative, having a hundred or so different vocalizations for various situations. Apparently these little guys are still at the MommyMommyMommy stage.

[@sliverofsilver7123]

I can see her trying to figure out the best route to take before making the final climb with the kit. very cute!

[@lisad7788]

Yes, she's thinking...interesting to see that.

[@lisad7788]

She's smart. She knew exactly which baby to help first and what to do to rescue them.

[@arslongavitabrevis7241]

This mom raccoon is a better parent than some of the people in my neighborhood who shoot and trap them. Heartless humans, they are. Raccoons care for their young better than some people, have more capacity for bonding and caretaking. Fourleggeds sometimes just have more of what some of the two leggeds can't ever seem to get right.

[@justme1961]

That was one stressful day for Mama and babies, I am glad it worked out. Mama definitely saw the filmer but her maternal instinct kicked in! Thank you for sharing this amazing footage!

[@aspenrobinson8797]

[@susanivy3619]

Reading the description I figured the baby was going to be saved, but I started getting really worried towards the end, as time was running out (video was ending). To observe what you were able to catch on tape, totally worth the wait...and suspense. What a great "home" they have. Thanks for letting them stay around. The neighbors in my area seem to get them euthanized, along with the opossums, as I always have cat food and water out at night but I never see any individual more than a few weeks :(

[@AnnemieM]

Incredible. What a rescue. Mom sure had to keep it together on that one. She did exceptionally well. Thanks for the video.

[@perpetual61]

What a Patient Mother she went through a lot to get her babies without freaking out, while her one baby at the top was beside itself with fear that it would fall before it's mother had time to rescue it. I'm glad everything turned out alright and no one was hurt in the process and Bravo to Mama Racoon.

Now she needs a banner across that window sill that says NO CLIMBING ON THE WINDOW SILL, or at least to have that raccoon-law with her little ones, so they don't keep falling out! :) I expected the second one to fall from that window too, he should have kept his little mitts INSIDE the window!

Man! What an ordeal. The other baby was freaking out. Not knowing if it should go back down and follow mommy. Then mom goes to reassure it like twice so it will stay put. Then she goes through this repetitive arduous task of getting the stray(is it just my thoughts or should that old of a baby know how to follow what mommy does) to follow her. Then when she tries to lead the way, the straggler looks the other way, not even instinctively knowing it better follow mom. A baby like that could have an I'll fate, call of the wild and all. This is a very good video and some good screenshots.. I'm glad the mother just finally dragged in the youngster. I wonder if that baby is not catching on, or maybe it was one of its first big journeys. The mom was very busy and did a fabulous job. Very sweet video. Thanks for putting here

[@diane9247]

They would climbin my ewe bushes to about 10 feet off the ground. I put yogurt on a pole which had a flat endon it and stuck it up into the bush by them. They guzzled it down. After a while if they saw I had yogurt, they would run over and run up my body and stick their faces into handfuls of yogurt I held for them. It Was very cute. After a while they became reunited with their family. They were still trusting with me for a while but then regained their appropriate fear of people...

Great video capture, notice this mother was a bit distracted and conflicted once she noticed the human but she obviously knows and trusts the human to some degree! Not all babies make this much noise, some die quietly if a trapper takes mother away and couldn't find her nest (leaving your home to smell like roadkill next week after babies starve to death). PS. This is near the age a raccoon will vacate a den; a raccoon mother in your attic IS ALWAYS TEMPORARY. You can resolve such conflicts without wasting time & money on ineffective, knee-jerk reaction of trapping that will end up costing a lot more if babies die within your home. ~ 411 Wildlife.
