Raccoons are often referred to as pests, but even so, there’s something about the curious critters that makes them irresistibly adorable.
From their iconic “masks” and strangely human-like paws to the mischievous antics they pull at night, raccoons are undeniably cute! Sure, their idea of fun is looting trash cans and leaving garbage strewn across your lawn, but they’re charming all the same.
Don’t be surprised when you find yourself falling head over feels for the 15 “trash pandas” below.
