her kits wrestling on top of her doesn't serve to wake her! •••• A very similar scene to this happened quite a few times in my backyard when the moms with kits would visit. They knew they were safe at my place.
Photographic shot of a raccoon family, mother and four young 3-month old kits. Mom is lying on her side sleeping in medium tall soft green grass while her kits are tumbling and wrestling each other near her. Background of wild shrubbery and tall trees. Summertime sunny day. West Coast raccoons.
My own children threw and landed a direct hit with a bowling ball to my head. I didn't wake up either.
