And yes, I learned about it from the popular “casual geographic” tuber. But given my involvement with bears, I also have a soft spot in my heart for raccoons. And this lady (and more importantly this species!) deserve more recognition!
There’s only about 250 left in the wild and, despite having tons of available funding, Mexico is not publicly funding any conservation for them.
She’s on Tumblr as “raccoonmilf” and has lately been hilariously describing her time in a tourist trap pretending to be a tourist but actually studying the pygmy raccoons.
I’m unfortunately disconnected with most social media. But I hope your comment gets her more attention and followers!
