While on my trip to Vancouver I visited Stanley Park, took a heap of photos, which I'm currently still sorting through. Came across this guy while walking, blown away, never seen one of these in the wild. Followed him a bit and didn't seem to bother the Raccoon. Came within touching distance. Such an awesome experience.

Good shots. Lots of raccoons on the western coast of the North American continent...they seem to thrive here in this temperate climate with all the rain, lots of trees and wooded areas, lots of people whose food and gardens and refuse they feed upon. We had a mama who gave birth to her litters under out house for about five years running. They are interesting creatures, for sure.

Nice; around Stanley Park (and large parts of the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island), these no longer count as "wildlife" though...

Thanks, unfortunately I wont see anything like this again until next summer when we plan to head to Vancouver again.

Thanks, Stanley park is amazing, I could of easily spent a whole week just exploring all the areas of it. Beaver lake and Lost Lagoon were just bustling with birds. Really wanted to do the whale watching, but unfortunately we were out of season.
