Yeah, they kind of roll along.

And then they actually, so if you're out in the snow or mud and you're looking for raccoons, they have a really unique gait pattern that makes their tracks really identifiable because they're

back leg will always come up and stamp a footprint right next to where their front foot was.

So they have this really identifiable gait as well.

Well, number one, they smell terrible.

So that's the one thing I always warn people.

They have a very distinct musky odor that's rather unpleasant.

And then they also are they're not domesticated.

People will tell me all the time, you know, oh, we had one as a kid or I had one growing up.

And then as soon as it reached as soon as they reach sexual maturity, they get quite aggressive.

Exactly.

Yeah, unfortunately, friend-shaped, but not friend.

Sure, yeah, they can be quite aggressive, even with one another.

So, yeah, I would maybe be a little bit alarmed, but they are quite loud.

But, you know, they're just doing what raccoons do.

Oh, my favorite.

Well, we do name, so we do capture raccoons here in Vancouver.

So we capture them, we give them a microchip and then we release them so we don't keep them in captivity.

But we do name them and probably, I don't know, I named one Artie, I guess.

All right.
