What are Baby Raccoons Called…Besides Cute?

Last week, work stopped for a good half hour at the National Wildlife Federation’s headquarters in Reston, VA when a mother raccoon and four babies were spotted climbing precariously around a giant tree snag outside our office window. (See video here.)

Today, we caught them for a sequel. Check out these cute “kits” snuggled up with their mother in the crook of the tree.
