Curious Raccoon Swims Up To Say Hello Then Unleashes His Sinister Little Plan!

Raccoons, like many animals, are curious creatures.

And if they’re used to being around humans, they might be a LOT more bold than you can imagine…

Janna Breslin went out paddleboarding with some friends in Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida, and she’ll never forget this particular excursion.

Not because the paddleboarding was especially thrilling but because of one surprising encounter with an especially determined raccoon.

At first, the raccoon is just sort of swimming around between the humans, obviously unafraid and clearly curious.

The paddleboarders don’t mind his presence, either; after all, it looks like he just wants to say hello.

But then he makes a move toward Janna, who just so happened to have a backpack loaded onto her paddleboard…a backpack loaded with food!

This raccoon must’ve smelled the contents because he decides to make a play for that backpack, and with Janna still on the paddleboard!

It was something she never expected and if she doesn’t react, the brazen little robber will make off with the goods.

Janna’s friends caught the whole hilarious episode on camera and as for Janna:

“Still can’t believe that actually happened!!!

Yesterday was my first encounter with a wild and very curious raccoon,” she wrote on YouTube.

She did have to give the little guy a knock on the head to let him know he can’t take the backpack. But hey, you do what you have to.

And don’t worry about the raccoon. Janna says he’s just fine:

“I’m not happy I bonked him on the head, I tried to nicely keep him away from me and my things…

…but once I felt he was not going to let go of my clothing and food, I made a split decision to make sure my belongings were safe.

As you can see he swam away and was totally fine.“

Just be careful when you pack a lunch and head out into the wild! 😉
