| General Description : | From the souvenir sheet of 4 stamps, the second in the current multi-year series. Babies are irresistible. It’s Mother Nature’s wise and wily way of ensuring the survival of any species, displaying some endearing youthful trait that will ensure the recognition and emotional response of both parents and animal lovers everywhere. Raccoon kits are born helpless in the spring, but just six short weeks later, they can walk, climb and wrestle with their siblings. The kits are raised by their mother over the summer, and are able to forage on their own by the fall. A common sight in rural and suburban areas, the raccoon’s bandit-mask and agile front paws have enhanced its reputation for mischief. |
