I think this link fits in here, because although it's not about raccoons, it is about critters (in an indirect sort of way): Barnum’s Animals crackers

After more than a century behind bars, the beasts on boxes of animal crackers are roaming free.

That's pretty cool!

This is the best I can do for now. This is mom. She's not sure whether or not to trust me. Her kits run away if they even suspect I'm nearby. I suspect they'll be under my house all winter. Why leave now?! o_O

An overly amorous dolphin has prompted the mayor of a coastal town in Finistère to ban swimming in the sea.

The dolphin, which has been named Zafar, is well-known in the Plougastel-Daoulas area - and has even become something of a mascot to kayakers and other water sports enthusiasts.

But as it enters mating season, the animal has moved further down the coast to Landévennec, a small town famous for its abbey - where it has been butting up alongside boats and chasing swimmers.

Swimmers warned to avoid 'randy' dolphin who likes rubbing himself against them
'Several bathers were really afraid,' says mayor of Landevennec in Brittany

I don't know if anybody knows how this happened.
But obviously there is someone who snatched her from the zoo.
Someone who did it for money of course:(

Anyway here is a better picture of her:)

I can see what may have given Wyndham the idea...
