Two Raccoons Form a Chain to Pull a Baby Raccoon Safely Over a Highway Wall

While working security near the high school in Camdenton, Missouri, police officer Chris Williams spotted two raccoons, one mother and the other a baby, who worked together to form a procyonidae chain with their bodies so they could pull the third raccoon, also a baby, over a highway wall to safety.

I saw the mother raccoon on the wall with one of her babies as she was attempting to get her other baby over the wall. The mother raccoon leaned over the wall as the baby held onto her legs so she could reach out and grab the other baby and pull him up. Great example of a mothers love and teamwork!
