Baby Raccoon Rescued From Water Using Floating Devices

A baby raccoon was rescued from a watery end on July 4 when people on a boat spotted him swimming frantically. A video posted by DeltaBlues3 shows the raccoon climbing onto the floating devices thrown out to help him and collapsing on top of them as the lifeboat towed him back to land. That was one raccoon happy for human help.

The video was shared on Reddit by the uploader, who believes the raccoon may have been lost and swimming in the water for several hours overnight before help came. Credit: DeltaBlues3
