Wow!!!

It never fails to amaze me at how resource some wildlife can be. I'm mean really, it's mind boggling some of the places they can get in. Yesterday I had a call for a raccoon in the attic of a condominium in Sarasota. The maintenenace guy escorted me back to the building and there it was, 20' of soffit missing from a second story. The closest spot for the raccoon was several feet away from the hole. The had to first spot the hole from the ground which isn't exactly obvious and then climb the stairwell. Once on the second floor it had to climb the railing and then like a some kind of circus trapeze artist, swing itself from the gutter into the hole. A typical adult raccoon stands about 2' when fully erect. Although I haven't this particular one yet the maintenance guy said it was about 30lbs. I just find it crazy what this little animal is capable of. We're setting a ground trap today, I'm excited to see this Mcgvyer like Raccoon. This one should be part of Ringling Brothers Circus for sure! Have a great day!
