Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
What is life like for a group of orphaned raccoon siblings, born in the attic of a home, as they experience life at a raccoon rehabilitation center in California? This photo-packed series explores the stories and science behind animal sanctuaries, including all of the ups and downs that go along with caring for wild raccoons away from their natural element. Includes full-color photos, graphics, and maps.
At WildCare in San Rafael, California, many wild animals are brought in every day - skunks, birds, opossums, squirrels, and more - including raccoons. Four baby raccoons are put into the hands of WildCare staff, specifically volunteer Shelley. The kits need feedings, medicine, burpings, and even help going to the bathroom. The kits are not allowed to spend any time with other humans - they can't be used to humans once they are returned to the wilds of suburbia. A steady process involving enrichment, exercise, outdoor exposure - and more than you'll ever think you'll know about raccoons and other city wildlife - fills the pages of Raccoon Rescue.
Includes glossary.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
