While spending the night in the Tapias’ backyard studio, I was shocked awake by what turned out to be two very unhappy raccoons fighting next to and in the Tapias’ pool. There was so much vicious screeching and splashing that when I first awoke I had no idea what was going on. It didn’t last very long and they both walked away in different directions leaving wet paw prints behind.
Here is a sample of just one distressed raccoon. Imagine two of these, in the dead of night, right outside an open window you might be sleeping under.
