Human and animal interactions

This week, Zayd brought in a photo of his backyard friends - a bin full of baby raccoons.  Baby raccoons are also called cubs or kits.  



Zayd`s question for the class:  Do raccoons help or harm humans?  In what way?
My question for you:  Would it be a good idea to take the cubs out of the bin without mom?  What have we learned about mammals?

Lily had a comment about how there are new raccoon-proof green bins to keep the raccoon-human interactions to a minimum!  However, a few of the new bins in Toronto were chewed through.  Read the article below to find out who did it!   Was it really the raccoons?
