A pair of raccoons were recently caught on video trespassing in a family’s backyard. They expertly scurry across a fence top before one ambles down the side with the other following close behind. The excited children watching safely from inside their house at first think the two are wrestling. For a moment this appears to be the case as they play around, but suddenly one climbs onto the others backside and begins to quickly thrust while grabbing his partner’s tummy.
By the end of the video the kids have changed their mind about what is happening and innocently think the raccoon is helping his friend get a piece of food unstuck by performing the Heimlich maneuver. They ask the adult with them if this is the case and he responds “yeah that’s the Heimlich.” The man safely avoids an awkward explanation, and perhaps too mature of a conversation at this point in their lives, on what the children are really witnessing.
The raccoons likely entered the yard in order to get some privacy and alone time. Or perhaps one really was choking and needed some help getting the food unstuck. Whatever the reason, the two continue on their way, not caring about or oblivious to the spectators who have been watching them.
