They look like they are waiting for dinner!! Lol Do you have racoons there? The racoons here wait until your asleep to raid the food!!

Thanks lori.tas! I love the cuties.. @AliciaBorisonik .. They are common in my area and they are hanging around where there is food. This photo was taken at a National Park camp site and they were not aggressive.

Hi Christiane! What I like the most about this website is that you can connect with people from all over the world and to know what is going on in other parts. I love this picture, are they agressive animals? are they common in you area?
