In several languages, the native term for "raccoon" is “washing bear” or “wash-bear”, such as “tvättbjörn” in Swedish, “vaskebjørn” in Danish and Norwegian, “þvottabjörn” (thvottabjörn) in Icelandic, “tváttarbjørn” in Faroese, “pesukarhu” in Finnish, “pesukaru” in Estonian, „Waschbär“ in German and “wasbeer” in Dutch. In French, the raccoon is called “raton laveur”. Raton means “ratling” (little rat, young rat) and laveur means “cleaner” (cleaning person). In Latin, the raccoon is called “Procyōn lōtor”. Procyōn comes from Ancient Greek "Προκύων" (Prokúōn), which means “dog-like creature” (from πρό (pró) = “before” or “in place of”, and κύων (kúōn) = “dog”) in this case, and lōtor means “laundryman”.

Thank you soooo much, from the bottom of my heart for feeding these Lil guys. My fiance's grandfather, sets traps, (they own the Upstate, NY, Parker's Maple Syrup biz + 3/4 of the North Country in Maple Trees, lol) and he moves the animals away from the Maple areas, and there's a pack that come to feed on his porch. I wish I could be there that early in the am when they go over to eat. This yr, Momma had a litter of 5 and Daddy is still with them. I'm unsure if that's normal for raccoons but it's adorable to see the couple photos Gramps takes with his camera every few days. He's logging their growth😆 So many people treat these guys, oppossums, chipmunks, etc etc, as "rodents" and as an intuitive empath, it's gut wrenchi bf to gear some of the stuff these people do to "get rid of them". These people need to eat too, right? These people have a MEANS to feed themselves, right? So what makes THEM believe that they are above any animal, is beyond me. They were here first & in fact, THEY, are above humans. Like it or not, negative Nancy's, without these 'rodents' you'd be missing a part of YOUR food supply. So think about that the next time you go setting inhumane traps. It takes less effort to trap and release than it does to cruelly 'deal' with the animals that don't "benefit" your garden. These animals are hungry too. Woukd it be fair for the school, daycares, summer camps, etc etc, to NOT feed YOUR child/children when they are attending?! So what makes you any better/different?! I'll tell you. You have been 'programmed' to believe that YOU are superior to any + ALL lifeforms smaller than you. Everything is interconnected. INCLUDING, (but not limited to) you got it. Rodents. So the next time you waste time thinking of ways to 'eliminate' animals that don't benefit whatever you're trying to do, think again. You just want to live, eat and thrive, right?! The same applies with animals

I love how one of them washes the hot dog before eating it
In several languages, the native term for "raccoon" is “washing bear” or “wash-bear”, such as “tvättbjörn” in Swedish, “vaskebjørn” in Danish and Norwegian, “þvottabjörn” (thvottabjörn) in Icelandic, “tváttarbjørn” in Faroese, “pesukarhu” in Finnish, “pesukaru” in Estonian, „Waschbär“ in German and “wasbeer” in Dutch. In French, the raccoon is called “raton laveur”. Raton means “ratling” (little rat, young rat) and laveur means “cleaner” (cleaning person). In Latin, the raccoon is called “Procyōn lōtor”. Procyōn comes from Ancient Greek "Προκύων" (Prokúōn), which means “dog-like creature” (from πρό (pró) = “before” or “in place of”, and κύων (kúōn) = “dog”) in this case, and lōtor means “laundryman”.

I used to give a Mama raccoon treats in my back yard. One night she came up behind me while standing having a smoke and touched me so gently on the leg. Almost had a heart attack.
I know that feeling dude. I had a deer I fed apples to every day, and one night while out having a smoke, I heard a guttural grunt like no sound I've ever heard before, mixed with stomping. Figured out it was that deer, who I named Crook, demanding an apple. He started setting off our security lights after that, or when no one was outside to hear him, knowing someone would see them come on, and notice him.
So cute
She was smoking?! She must've been stressing!

@@holylambmedia Humans are the worst animals on Earth. This is why in the UN there is a Dept. Of Behavioral Control. And if you read the book of Arthur Koestler, titled: "The Ghost In The Machine" (1963), there is all of this explained. We have a superior brain but our motivation is of the animal instinct type.The outcome is that extreme selfishness and emotional aggressive behavior, which resulted in creating the nuclear weapons and the constant wars. It seems to me that you are unaware of the plan titled: "Beyond Therapy - Bio Technology For The Pursuit Of Happiness (2003)". This was broadcast in the scientific radio program titled: "Les Annees Lumiere." ( 2003, Quebec, Universite Laval). This plan aims at creating an improved new human being, which does not destroy the Earth as the present "superior" human animal does.

The only reason there is a danger from most wild animals is because for thousands of years they have learned to fear and hate us for the things we do to them. Although it will never come about, the peaceable kingdom refers to a world where no being fear another.
@@Automedon2 What a load of crap! Animals don't think that way. They fear do to self preservation. Its something all animals including us do. They fear the unknown. These racoons where afraid of this guy but he kept leaving them food and then developed trust over time. Now, they don't fear him because they have become mentally conditioned. The way you think is like a child.
@@doiron12 Oh, you don't think animals pass on what are the dangerous things in the world to their offspring? Of course they do - that's how they survive. You don't think they know who killed their mate or herd members? I am in state forests several times a week and I barely see a wild animal - because they know to stay the fuck away from humans, and they will protect their young from known danger. That is why a bear can walk right past a deer, because they know it's not a danger.

I feed them in the woods and when I'm feeling up a bunch of dishes for him you're liable to grab the bag and take off with it. Last time it was a bag of for chocolate chip cookies and Danish. I live on a houseboat right offshore and if I don't feed them they stand in the mangroves and holler at the boat. They do love grilled dolphin. And anything else I cook.

@@donnawentz7102 😂
Wait for me I am also joining:))
The raccoon on the rail is the Human Whisperer.
He got that human well trained 🤣👍
I could watch this all day my man. You an I are kindred spirits.
The grabby one has had a tough Life before he met you, he’ll come around in time 😁
God bless you for feeding them .
Reminds me so much of my grandpa. He’d sit outside in the evening and feed his raccoons, and two skunks that lived under the wood pile. At night, I’d flip on the porch light for the surprise of what was on the steps eating what he’d left out there for late night snackers. My favorite was watching raccoons eating one strand of spaghetti at a time🤗🌸 thank you for sharing your vid!
All they are getting is some dry food this stuff and sandwiches!!!!!!! This guy is a legend!
Thank you so much for being so kind to the animals instead of screaming at them and swatting at them with a broom you're my hero!!
I'm new to your channel and I'm so in love oh my goodness the raccoons are precious I love your buddy! You're an amazing person to take care of the wild the way you do! You're definitely my favorite KZheadr always look forward to your videos! Thank you for sharing the beautiful raccoons!
Welcome!
@@wrenwrenwood6503 Thank You!
You have 17 raccoons because they're giving you WONDERFUL Bed and Breakfast reviews on YELP. :) LOVE your ♥ James.
You are so right 😃
LOL
Oh dear thats so funny !!
How many hot dogs do they eat eat. I'm feeding some in the woods and they come up but I don't try to get that friendly with him I don't want to teach them to trust Youmans. Humans around here throw rocks at them beat them with sticks. You have arrested a couple kids here from going up and beaten the ones up behind Winn-Dixie, they arrested the kids. Not everybody has a pure heart these days. Foods scarce down here in the Florida Keys in the mangroves. But they look healthier when you give them water and a little food. But how many hotdogs can them suckers eat?
Amazing! God continued to bless this man! He is so kind, gentle, and caring! Love the videos!
Your wind chime is extra calming on top of the feedings being so relaxing for my anxiety. 🙏🥰🦝
I am so glad I found your channel! It's nice to know other people love nature as much as I do! I have been laid off for a few months now so I have been spending some time outdoors, seeing how many of my yard critters I can become friends with!!
James you are awesome! I love raccoons.. Had a pet one when I was younger on our farm. Thank you
@@erikarommel That is awesome, Mine was named "Wylie". It so funny he would wake me up every morning rubbing my face so he could go outside... He like to sneak down to the barn and get my dad.. lol!!
Just amazing to watch. The connection you have with these adorable animals is just priceless. Keep doing what your doing, the world needs more people like you.
My boss bottle feeds a squirrel. He and his family have him so spoiled. But it is so sweet to see them interact with this gentle sweet red squirrel
I truly believe he is legitimately a good person. Living off a pension and using what little money he has to keep these guys healthy. I give all his videos a thumbs up even if I do not watch them lol
Do raccoons have thumbs? 👍👍
He has a beautiful home. He’s living good
Facts man
I'm glad he found his happy place right in his own backyard!
it warms my heart just seeing such a nice man feeding raccoons
I raised a racoon his mom got hit by a car I had him for a year named him Jake till my ex wife turned me in got $100 fine and game wardens took my Jake had him house trained please feed Jake miss him
What an evil woman. Karma on her
Jim you truly are a blessing to the raccoons and to your cats and most of all to us. I love how buddy comes up to get your attention. He is so sweet, he's going have alot of jealous raccoons after him! Bless you Jim💜🦝👮♂️
Theres just something calming about watching a man feed racoons
Better manners than some people I have seen. They are adorable
I really think little missy on top just wants kisses and loves. She really loves you😊
Word got out. Best meals, cheap prices at the " raccoon whisperer."
Clever😀
I saw their review on Yelp
Speaking from experience, I hope there won't be serious consequences for James if he decides one day to close the diner. Raccoons can be vicious if denied.
@@T-Jack Yes he got great reviews.
and no masks required.
My wife loves the wind chimes. Seriously, the birds, the chimes, the wind noise... very soothing.
Those chimes keep the raccoons somewhat at peace and a little distracted along with the food lol
Enjoyed your story on your experience with raccoons, so sweet of you to do this for your late wife. Connor cat is adorable!
Do you think the "little fellla" who is so interested in food and has eaten a whole pack of hotdogs since 4:00 could be *nursing babies* ?
AHAHAHA!! A wet Willie, too funny Jim, I literally cackled with glee.
Me too 🤣
It must tickle!
The one on the railing is like a domestic. She even takes her time with one hotdog than fluff you up for another one lol
Her charisma is maxxed
I was thinking this is probably generations of mother and multiple litters of young. Years and years of hotdogs. Yes, the one on the rail is way too tame but could and would tear you up.
U sure it's a he?
🌈🤝
the wholesome content I didn't know I needed 😭
How could anyone even dislike a video as wholesome as this.
This reminds of how my Mom would feed lettuce to Skunks by hand they never bothered her she was one gentle person she was a magnet to all animals.
You know I live in a high-rise in Toronto and can't remember the last time I went up north or to a cottage but watching you guys is the next best thing. Thanks 😊
Raccoons are everywhere in Toronto. My grandson also lives in a downtown hi-rise and he sees them all the time. IN Vaughan where we live, it like Aunt Sally's farm - wildlife everywhere. The raccoons have learned to open the latched trash bins so they must be kept in the garage. A couple of weeks ago we found one in the garage. Don't know how that happened.
The sweetest video I’ve yet discovered by this beautiful man. 🙏🏼💙
These animals behave better than a lot of people they wait patiently for their turn.
They look like they would win the Coney Island hot dog eating contest.
😂😂😂😂🙌🙌🙌
LOOKS LIKE THEY ALREADY HAVE......MANY TIMES! 😂
I'll bet he has no trouble with overturned garbage cans.
those are sophisticated raccoons
@@shkafishkafnjakboz4196 Those are upscale high society raccoons.
Or he has the worst problem in town lol
orrrrrr they no longer use that instinct as much and rely on him I mean I totally get his reasoning i'm not hating I've had a friendly fox at one time though I didn't feed her
@@shkafishkafnjakboz4196 Yes they most certainly are, and very polite too as they wait their turn.
I love that they take the food with their hands.
@PRIVATE "little guys from NYC" hilarious! Since they seemed like pet dogs, I expected them to take the food with their mouths.
unless he throws the food at them because they not part of his clan..
I love this man. I died twice and I can assure this man has a beautiful realm on the other side This is compassion. While others call pest control, this man extend his heart. Animals eating garbage in a world man owns is heartbreaking. Be like him, and your afterlife will be great. Go vegan, live compassion, feed the hungry, help those who need help animal or human
No thanks I'll always eat meat w/a side of green beans to boot and still feed my raccoons.
Buddy is just the best! Does his little walk to and fro on the fence!
My gosh these pics are amazing. So sweet. Little guy runs back on his stand lol He's got a routine. So sweet to see them like you so much. Glad that they got you to care for them . I got baby pool for water
Awww I love Connor cat🥰. He sounds so cute meowing. He wants attention from his daddy too
Burglar: man these cats are huge.... The Raccoon whisper: (slight whisper, while sitting on the bench) .....Attack my pets....
You have a heart of gold james
Legit love this. It’s nice to see some compassion towards some of the Earth’s other creatures, especially something like Raccoons, who get a bad rap.
Amazing, nature in harmony. I love and feed birds, Skunks and Raccoons too. Not as much as he does but some. I’ve never seen so many fat Raccoons, thanks to him. God bless him🐖🦌🐇🦃🐓🕊
Watching from NYC... You and your furry friends put such a huge smile on my face and warmth in my heart ❤. I've always loved raccoons. "Wildlife" gets such a bad rap. I love when humans prove otherwise.
You had seventeen because they're referring friends now...lol!
"He's just got no table manners." LOVE IT.
Lol.💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💕💞
This video is awesome in multiple aspects. The most obvious are the friendly raccoons. But what really reached out to me was the peaceful sound of the wind through the leaves and the wind chimes combined with the variegated green growth in the background, gently waving to the wind. Wow - such a peaceful environment. Good for you - God bless!
Thank you soooo much, from the bottom of my heart for feeding these Lil guys. My fiance's grandfather, sets traps, (they own the Upstate, NY, Parker's Maple Syrup biz + 3/4 of the North Country in Maple Trees, lol) and he moves the animals away from the Maple areas, and there's a pack that come to feed on his porch. I wish I could be there that early in the am when they go over to eat. This yr, Momma had a litter of 5 and Daddy is still with them. I'm unsure if that's normal for raccoons but it's adorable to see the couple photos Gramps takes with his camera every few days. He's logging their growth😆 So many people treat these guys, oppossums, chipmunks, etc etc, as "rodents" and as an intuitive empath, it's gut wrenchi bf to gear some of the stuff these people do to "get rid of them". These people need to eat too, right? These people have a MEANS to feed themselves, right? So what makes THEM believe that they are above any animal, is beyond me. They were here first & in fact, THEY, are above humans. Like it or not, negative Nancy's, without these 'rodents' you'd be missing a part of YOUR food supply. So think about that the next time you go setting inhumane traps. It takes less effort to trap and release than it does to cruelly 'deal' with the animals that don't "benefit" your garden. These animals are hungry too. Woukd it be fair for the school, daycares, summer camps, etc etc, to NOT feed YOUR child/children when they are attending?! So what makes you any better/different?! I'll tell you. You have been 'programmed' to believe that YOU are superior to any + ALL lifeforms smaller than you. Everything is interconnected. INCLUDING, (but not limited to) you got it. Rodents. So the next time you waste time thinking of ways to 'eliminate' animals that don't benefit whatever you're trying to do, think again. You just want to live, eat and thrive, right?! The same applies with animals
So precious.
I'm curious about how much do you spend on food for them, do you take donations. Please let me know, thank you for sharing.👍🙏
was wondering the same thing
KZhead helped him, dont worry
listen to the whole video he dont accept e-donation or transfers
What a sweetheart you are! Your kindness and compassion towards animals warms my heart and soul. I love watching your videos! I find that I smile the whole time. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful part of your life with us.
THE RACOON KING HAS RISEN
