32 Raccoon Babies Reborn in the Wild | Vancouver News
Description
This summer, a wildlife rehab center in Metchosin is caring for 32 orphaned and injured baby raccoons—mostly victims of human activity like car crashes or dog attacks. With bottle feedings, social play, and disease-safe enclosures mimicking the wild, staff and volunteers are giving these masked mischief-makers a fighting chance to thrive. Eighty percent of the animals they help arrive due to human interference, and relocation often backfires. The goal? Release them into the wild this fall, near where they were found, once they’ve mastered climbing, foraging, and surviving on their own—all while relying on donations to fund their high-protein diet.
