The homes across the street from us back up to a bayou and have lots of trees in their back yards and across the bayou the banks and area are filled with many, many trees. We think that is where most of the raccoons live. Occasionally we will see a dead possum or raccoon in the street killed by traffic, and used to see a lot of porcupines but they must be becoming extinct in this area as we don't see them any longer not even in yards. We always put our food stuff at the top of the garbage can as if you do raccoons will take the top off, get the food and go on their way without tumping the can over to dig inside of it. That has kept us from having to clean the area up and they don't make a mess. Have you ever seen an albino raccoon before? A couple of years after me moved here, we had a Mother and baby come into our yard and at that time we had a metal can and heard it turn over by the garage and looked out to see this beautiful animal with her baby which was also an albino. It was a time I wished I had a camera in hand to take a picture of them. They were so pretty with those big brown circles around their eyes and the white, white hair. Have never seen them again. The Mom was handing foodstuff to the little one and it was so cute to see the little one's anticipation for the food.
