In Bradenton, Florida, Robert Acton was making an early morning delivery when he noticed noises coming from neighboring garbage. When the truck driver glanced inside, he was taken aback by the sight of ten pairs of little brown eyes staring out at him.
A family of newborn raccoons had gotten stranded after crawling in. Their mother had shown them how to rummage among the trash for food, but she hadn’t shown them how to get out of the metal box.
In a video of the event, Acton says, “You should always be friendly to Mother Nature, so I’m going to help these tiny ones.” “I can’t see a compactor showing up and dumping them in the rear. That would be a bad idea.”
The inquisitive babies stood on their rear paws and stared up at Acton, as if begging for assistance.
Acton snatched up a wooden pallet and lowered it into the garbage with care. The raccoons were able to ascend to safety thanks to this wonderful ladder.
The lovely rescue may be seen here:
