You know what would be sooooo cute? If you kept a raccoon as a pet! You could feed it, train it, snuggle it and make silly YouTube videos to show the the world your newly "adopted" baby raccoon! Because raccoons are the sort of animals (just like Chimpanzees) that let you get reeeeaaalllll close until one day, when the food just isn't coming quick enough, they scratch your face right off. Whoops!

With fair warning, I bring you a slew of videos that, with their inherent cuteness, attempt to show that owning a pet raccoon would be a fantastically fun idea. It's like a cat, but not! No matter what Stephen says, don't give in. These creatures may seem adorable, but they are not your friend.


  • Kozzmo, this girl's adorable "coonie", plays hide-and-go-seek/"Why-am-I-in-a-house--I'm-a-raccoon?"


  • Does the noise that lil' raccoon is making give anyone else the chills?

  • Tyrone Biggums the Racoon is OK in my book -- only because he has a sweet MySpace. Just like a human!


  • These two are hatching a secret plan to eat all your garbage. Aww.


  • No, not Alf! Shelby noooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
