Pueblo Raccoon

A raccoon was spotted in the Rose Garden next to the auditorium at Pueblo today.  Many Warriors were curious to see the black, white and grey creature nap in the trees.  Students used their mobile phones to snap pictures of our furry friend.

Pest Control was called to capture the raccoon and release it in his natural habitat.  After several attempts to trap him, the raccoon clawed his way up a 50 foot palm tree were he is napping peacefully.

The pest control specialist said the raccoon would climb down on his own during the still of the night and head back where he came from.

Here’s a short video of a failed attempt to trap the raccoon and him running into another tree:
