One person's trash is another person's adorable trash panda raccoon memes!

If you're cold, they're cold: Bring them inside! Just kidding, don't bring wild animals inside of your home no matter how cute and adorable… and fuzzy and silly they are… Ugh, it is so hard not to hug a raccoon when you see one. I live in NYC and I've still encountered raccoons. Twice! They're bigger than you would think, but still just as silly as you see online. Each time they approached me and just chilled next to me for a while (both times I didn't have my glasses on and thought they were a cat at first…), until I realized they were raccoons and would step away.

Sweet little guys, though still wild animals, so don't bring them inside. But you can bring raccoon memes inside! You can bring them wherever you want. Your DMs, your friends' DMs, you saved photos, posted on your story, wherever! It is cold out and we could all use that kind of wholesome comforting. We're talking fuzzy little creatures with thumbs who look like little bandits. So let's get into these silly little trash panda raccoon memes!

Did you know in some states in the U.S. it is perfectly legal to have a raccoon as a pet? That's right, you could be the parent of your very own raccoon. I hear they're even sillier than puppies and kittens! And that feels like a crazy thing to say. Are they just as cuddly? There is only one way to find out! Okay, but don't try to hug a wild raccoon… I feel like I keep steering you in the wrong direction. Let's be clear, don't try to hug any wild animals. We're just saaaaaaying, we want to! But we're not actually going to do it… We're just gonna meme about it instead!
