Three days after fighting with with another raccoon, Cotton still hasn’t lost the top of its tail. I picked the name because, once the last piece falls off, the tail will end with a white band (a Cotton tail.) Widey, who also lost the tip of its tail, ends with a black band.
In these three videos, Cotton returns to the den later in the morning, then leaves (after distantly finding no one home.)
In the rare color videos, you can see the top of Cotton’s tail dangling uselessly as the raccoon walks around.
