Five baby raccoons thrive under hand-rearing care at Chongqing park

A quintuplet of baby raccoons born at the Locajoy Theme Park in Chongqing's Yongchuan district is thriving under the attentive care of their keepers, the park said.

Born on April 1, the raccoon babies are reported to be in excellent health. Due to the mother raccoon's inability to produce sufficient milk, the park's animal team has adopted a hand-rearing program, ensuring the newborns receive the best possible nourishment and care.

On sunny afternoons, the keepers bring the raccoon babies outdoors to frolic beneath the trees for about two hours. These energetic creatures indulge in playful chases and gentle tumbles.

The park anticipates that the quintuplets will soon be ready to meet the public and bring joy to visitors with their delightful presence.
