The dollar store was having a three-for-one sale on snacks, so I picked up some popcorn and crackers and shared them with the crab eating raccoons who inhabit the Pacific Coast here in Panama City.

usually a few of them will show up but with three bags, I created too much of a simmering excitement, so I'll have to share snacks at a moderate pace and then move along down the coast and find a couple other raccoons next time. there were double the amount in that picture swarming the area, although none of them were acting aggressive.

the raccoons are quite tame and polite, and you can see locals with their children feeding the raccoons every day.

one got down on the ground and tugged on my pants with his little paws.

if you hold out a snack, they don't bite it away from you, they take it from you with their hands and then eat it.

it's awesome.
