Nature: Raccoon Nation - 7 stars out of 10

Nature: Raccoon Nation - 7 stars out of 10

Raccoon Nation is an interesting look into the world of everybody's favorite masked creatures.  It is even more interesting to see that their world exists inside of our world.  PBS' Nature series does not have to travel very far from our living rooms as it explores the adaptations of raccoons living in an urban environment.  This documentary is really interesting but more important, those little raccoons are so cute!  They all look like they're on their way to rob a bank, but end up raiding a few trash cans instead.  If your only impression of raccoons is that they are rabid and destructive, you definitely need to see this to understand how intelligent, adaptable, and cuddly they are.  It is also a good reminder that they are dangerous and shouldn't be handled unless they are domesticated.  It is definitely worth 52 minutes to learn about their ability to survive in literally our own backyards and to watch a bunch of fuzzy baby raccoons climbing around in trees!
