15 Strangely Wholesome Raccoons The Internet Loves

There's no reason people should find raccoons cute, but for some reason, lots of us do. They eat garbage and are probably covered in germs, but that doesn't stop us from obsessing over their tiny hands and different fur patterns. It's just another sign that we need to get a life. Have you ever tried to hug a raccoon or keep one as a pet? Would you? Probably not, and that's some sound advice.

They may look cute, but we're pretty sure they're still wild animals. Lots of us didn't get that memo, and somehow they've gotten so close to these raccoons that we're concerned about them. But they took these pictures, and we should thank them for that, because these raccoons are actually super adorable. Maybe someday we'll domesticate them and be able to take them to our local dog park. Probably not, though. Until that day arrives, here are 15 surprisingly wholesome trash pandas courtesy of Redditors.
