More Sibling Rivalries?

The sibling rivalries continue!

There appears to be a rather sizeable misunderstanding between these two young Raccoons.....


What's more, this misunderstanding still was not cleared up several days later....

Even momma looks beside herself on this next one (pacing around the wrestling juveniles)....


Not all interactions appear to be such massive misunderstandings as the ones in the clips above.  Some actually just appear to be "play"-type behaviors.

The clips below starts off pretty benign, with a nice up-close shot of momma.  Yet, it ends with her two two scamps accidentally sucking her into their ruckus.  

Uh-oh.....I guess I spoke too soon....
 

ahem.....

  1. Nice. Looks like she has 2 pretty evenly matched/sized male kids that are really testing each other. And maybe ready to disperse, soon. From what I understand, dominance sparring can get pretty feisty if there isn't a clear winner.

  2. Those are awesome clips! You're right though, most of it appears to be playful interaction. It seems as if the interaction was on cue for the camera! Good stuff! Trailblazer, sorry for the lack of interaction these past few weeks. Times have been busy, but I hope things are leveling off a bit.
