Talk About a Clean Shave
There are a lot of animal breeds that are completely hairless and smooth. There’s the naked mole-rat and some breeds of cat. But as far as we know, there’s no raccoon breed like that. Well, imagine our surprise when we came across this image of a completely hairless raccoon for the first time. Now, imagine the surprise of the woman who saw him from across her window and took the photo.
To put it kindly, it’s quite an… interesting look. The fur of a raccoon does a whole lot to produce the cute image we are so familiar with when we think of trash pandas. When you remove all of that, you’re left with a tubby, bald animal of some sort. We definitely wouldn’t have recognized him, but he’s still cute, in his own way.
