Raccoons remind me of the little 1930's styled thieves in the old Bugs Bunny cartoons, although a lot more frightening in person, especially when you don't see the little "fur ninjas" coming.
Just because you give certain wildlife cute little nicknames like "trash panda", doesn't make them any less terrifying at 5:00 am, especially when it's still pretty dark out.
If you have ever been stuck behind an RV going significantly under the speed limit, and not because of an animal traffic jam, but because they're "sightseeing", you can probably relate to this hilarious, but on point, Instagram post.
