The experienced specialists know how easily this happens. And better that way than that there is a nasty surprise! An employee told The Dodo:
«(The animals) don’t really sound alike.»
Nevertheless, he understands the panic:
«But if you’re somewhere where there might be crocodiles, you’re scared of them and then you hear a growl right behind you, then of course you immediately think ‘crocodile’!»

The advance of the animal rights activists was not entirely in vain. Finally, a raccoon is in need and worries about her children.
The Aces Wildlife Rescue staff decide to put the three cubs in a laundry basket and take them outside.
There, the wildlife experts then leave the animals alone and retreat. It doesn’t take long for Mama Raccoon to collect her brood one by one.
People can watch the raccoon disappear with a first cub in its mouth.
Ten minutes later she is back, fishes the second little raccoon out of the tub and then the third!
In the end, the little robber family is reunited. This is all the more important since raccoons are real family animals that stick together.
