Raccoon

This portrait of a Raccon was taken on March 18th, 2011 at LaCreek National Wildlife Refuge in South Dakota. Pretty smart critters. I thought this guy was injured or something. However, as I watched him, he reluctantly finally got up, and I saw that there was a carp underneath him, mostly frozen in the ice. I presume he was using his body heat to thaw it out of the ice! Photo taken with Canon 50D, 400 5.6L.
