Ronnie the escaped raccoon


Great story on the BBC website about a raccoon on the run in Scotland: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-tayside-central-22567364

...Mr Scott said: "We didn't think we were going to get him, but we went through every morning checking the traps. "We caught quite a few cats, and some birds - all of which we let go - and then, underneath a tarpaulin where we had put a trap, there he was, right as rain." He added: "He's happy, healthy, and back in his run with loads of females and having a good time." Police had issued a warning urging people not to try to corner the raccoon as he may bite. Mr Hammond said: "He was having to fend for himself and he certainly likes cat food. "I am glad there has been a happy ending as I don't think it's a good idea to have an animal that isn't indigenous to the country roaming about.""
