Central Park Raccoon, Procyon lotor.

The photographer writes; I had so much positive feedback about my images of a particular Central Park Raccoon den that I'm pretty sure many will enjoy this. Consider it a reprise of the Talk Like a Pirate Day (9.19.07) and Central Park Nose (9.20.07) Living the Scientific Life posts. It is definitely the same Raccoon cub in the earlier of the two shots and is likely the same one I barely detected snoozing in the same tree cavity. This image was caught at sunset and the light was not the best but if you zoom in you will find it rewarding. The sideways pose is great but what really "gets me" are those crossed paws. And those eyes? No this Raccoon is not possessed. Right?

It's possessed by the spirit of the raccoon :o)

Smart looking animals.
