Adorable Baby Raccoon Stumbles Around Wisconsin Lakeshore

Wisconsin-based photographer Eric Curtin was enjoying an early-morning walk on the shore of Lake Michigan when he came across a solitary raccoon kit stumbling around the stony beach.

Footage recorded by Curtin shows the young raccoon squeaking as it trips around the lakeshore at Harrington Beach State Park in Belgium, Wisconsin.

Speaking to Storyful, Curtin said the raccoon walked over to his tripod and camera bag before he moved away to give it some space.

“I was keeping an eye out for the momma raccoon, because I figured she’d be nearby,” he said. Credit: Eric Curtin via Storyful
