Description
I was just outside, and I had my camera to take a picture of some flowers, then these crazy coons come around the corner! I get my camera ready, (I have a long lens) and they start doing these "cheerleader moves" I put it on action, and they were only like this for a few seconds! This is not photoshoped, it's the funniest thing I have ever seen. I realize now, that these are the same four that were up in the tree together a year or more ago. I'm not feeding them to make them do tricks.. they are just funny! Masked Bandits, masked cheerleaders.. Now make a new formation! Too bad there wasn't a fifth one to jump on top! I wish I could say that I have trained these guys, or I have some trick, but they are wild, not tame, and they aren't my pets. They just were born in this stump right next to the deck.. Anyways, they sure brought a smile to my face. They found a papertowel off to the right, and they wre all playing with it and shreading it up.
