Little cutie!

Description
A raccoon is surveying the forest floor, deciding where it wants to go next after digging for grubs nearby. When the winter months come, raccoons will sleep longer but don't actually hibernate. So to prepare, raccoons will pack on the extra pounds, which gives raccoons energy when it becomes too cold to search for food.
