Smart. Sexy. Fun.
Each of these juvenile raccoons had the same idea: let's take a nap in this tiny hammock. All seven of them managed to fit, resulting in perhaps one of the best raccoon videos of all time. But it doesn't look like anyone is getting much rest around here! Those faces are too cute. Read more
Halloween's tomorrow but the creatures of Bristol Zoo got their pumpkin treats a little early. These freshly carved jack-o'-lanterns were explored — and devoured — by creatures from raccoons to ring-tailed lemurs. Luckily for us, zoo photographers snapped the action before the pumpkin carcasses were properly disposed. View 15 Photos ›Photo 1Photo 2Photo 3Photo 4Photo 5 Don't just take my Read more
Who doesn't love a good baby raccoon rescue story? (Especially since they get a little frightening when they grow up.) Somehow, a pair of raccoon-lets got stuck in a vending machine and some concerned citizens got a cute man in a huge cowboy hat to get them out. Now these babies can grow up to destroy people's attics, trespass via doggie doors and steal your pet's food, and terrorize adults in Read more
Raccoons don't have a lot of chances to be considered cute, seeing as we usually run into them when they're rooting through our garbage, destroying our homes, or staring us straight in the eyes in their unnerving way. So it's with pleasure that I present you with this harp-playing water sprinkler-playing raccoon. And I must say his technique is quite marvelous. Next stop, Carnegie Hall! Read more
All work (i.e. destroying people's houses and attacking their pets) and no play makes Rocky Raccoon a dull boy. (Also, am I seeing things or are those raccoons in the middle making out?) Thanks, Neatorama! Read more
In spirit of Earth Day, I thought we'd tackle a problem with wild animals. Sonoma b is having a big problem with some masked creatures. The very hungry raccoons seem determined to make a mess of her garbage. It's a company-issued, heavy-duty blue industrial plastic "can" filled with plastic kitchen bags. Even though it's emptied once a week, the pesky critters seem to find their way in before Read more
Yigal Azrouël designed his Fall '12 collection for a woman who is "fearless in her outlook and quiet in her confidence." Drawing from the spirit of Françoise Hardy, Yigal sent sophisticated, ladylike looks with an exotic twist down the runway. To put it simply, it was a luxurious mélange of plush raccoon-fur cossacks, long cashmere coats with leather-trimmed pockets, pebble-printed silk Read more
YouTube star and beauty guru Michelle Phan is all about beauty, and she always has a trick or two up her sleeve. This week, Michelle helps us make raccoon eyes a thing of the past: Hi everyone, A reader named Anastasia recently asked me the following question: "I'm from Singapore which is pretty hot, so how can I keep my eyeliner from smudging? I don't want to look like a panda!" Meet Read more
Raise your hand if you wear pencil eyeliner. Now raise your hand if you hate the smudges you get around your eyes from it. Yes, we feel your pain, too. Pencil eyeliner can define your eyes and give them a sexy, smoldering look, but it can also come at the price of getting raccoon eyes sometime around noon. Luckily, there's a little trick that will help solve the smudging. Watch the video now to Read more
We may be excited for Super Mario 3D Land, but there's one group who certainly isn't. PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, says that when Mario dons a Tanooki suit in the game, he's giving the green light to would-be fur wearers. According to PETA: "Tanooki may be just a "suit" in Mario games, but in real life, tanuki are raccoon dogs who are skinned alive for their fur. By Read more
