Well, „officially“ it was yesterday but a raccoon wouldn't care and so neither will we ^__^

For #RaccoonAppreciationDay: Bric-a-braccoons and Hatrackoons😂
[from "The Terrors of the Tiny Tads," a comic strip full of kooky hybrid creatures by Gustave Verbeek that ran in syndication via the NY Herald from 1905-1914]
#InternationalRaccoonAppreciationDay

"Some funny bric-a-braccoons in a tree attract their gaze;
They stop and look at them a while and watch their funny ways."
(panel from a comic strip featuring raccoon/bric-a-brac hybrids in a tree - head, tail, and legs of a raccoon, bodies are bric-a-brac)
16 April 1911
"1 - Oh, see the wicked Hatrackoon! He wants to catch some thing.
He hides behind a great big tree, all ready for a spring."
(panel from a comic strip featuring a hybrid creature with a raccoon head and hatrack body)
6 April 1913
"3 - He would not heed our warning, and the savage Hatrackoon,
Has darted out upon him and will catch him very soon."

It's #InternationalRaccoonAppreciationDay so let's appreciate this poor #raccoon (probably a Crab-eating raccoon, Procyon cancrivorus) who got mistaken for a #coati (a fellow procyonid) in a 1737/41 sketchbook by Emanuel Mendes Da Costa (1717-1791).

This poor raccoon got mislabeled as a coati in a c.1737-40 album by Emanuel Mendes Da Costa. Coatis are distant cousins in the Procyonidae family.
