Learning to walk.

[eohartman]

When raccoons are born, they're pretty awkward animals. It's not until they're about a month old that they really start to walk, and even then it's pretty clumsy. In the interest of getting my oldest girl some practice walking, I've been letting her stumble walk around the house. At this age, she's not into exploring yet, so she tries to stay as close to me as possible. This makes for some pretty entertaining moments. :-)

Oh my. How adorable. Look at her little legs sliding out from under her. Are raccoons at this age still...I can't figure out a way to say it...nice (for lack of better word) to humans?

ADORABLE!!!

Want to know another cutely sad and HILARIOUS animal learning to get its legs? Baby CAMELS! OMG! There was this 1.5-2 month old camel that would love to hang out with its mom where we take our kids in our groups for a 5 minute ride. Yeah. The kids go NUTS. Anyway... camels naturally caravan. But this baby is still learning. So when everyone else would get up to follow in a line, rider or not, the baby would stay in the sand for awhile. Then, she'd realize "hey! mom's gone!" and go RUNNING to catch up. By running, I mean a funky hop-skip-jump-sashay-OMG LEGS SPLAYED OUT-crazy-dance. It's the funniest, most pathetic thing EVER. :) But, alas, I never filmed it. :(
