Since YouTube was created back in 2005, raccoons have been going viral for all sorts of hilarious shenanigans. Like this group of orphaned raccoons who politely took one peanut butter sandwich each, until that one guy came along and snatched a hand full before running off.
These raccoons are too cute, especially the baby one!
This group of hungry raccoons went viral after they politely take a sandwich, except for one “little piggie”
At the beginning of the video, you can see raccoons through a closed door but you can’t tell how many there is. When he opens the door you see a huge group of raccoons who waltz right in.
That’s when you see the man behind the camera put out a bucket of peanut butter sandwiches, they each began grabbing a sandwich with their little ‘human-like’ hands. Suddenly, a greedy raccoon scurries away with multiple sandwiches squeezed in his paws.

The baby raccoon will melt your heart, he debates going in before changing his mind and repeating the cycle. The rest of them have no problem strolling up and feasting.
This is actually a nightly ritual for the family of raccoons, thanks to Canadian, James Blackwood. Named “The Raccoon Whisperer” on YouTube, James has a sanctuary for raccoons on his property where he rehabs them.
James has been rehabbing raccoons for 20 years, his wife did it before she passed away in 2003 from cancer. One of her last wishes was for him to take care of her raccoons
On the caption of the YouTube video, James explains how he came to taking care of raccoons for over two decades.
“This was my wife’s project and she died in 2003 of Cancer and begged me on her death bed to take care of her raccoons and cats and her mother.” James wrote in part of the caption.
