Among the beach-goers on one of the hottest days of the summer yesterday was one of Saysutshun含羞草研究社檚 blonde raccoons.
Marian Stewart, a resident of Nanaimo含羞草研究社檚 Protection Island, and her partner had crossed over to scrape the bottom of their boat, and spotted the raccoon north of Midden Bay in the mid afternoon Wednesday, July 27.
含羞草研究社淢om came down with three of her babies. She was completely blonde and those are dark little babies,含羞草研究社� Stewart said.
The genetic trait has been passed down over the years among Saysutshun含羞草研究社檚 raccoon population. Stewart said in the mid 含羞草研究社�80s she had a huge white raccoon on her roof on Protection Island, and has seen blonde raccoons three or four times over the past 35 years.
According to a traditional story posted on Saysutshun含羞草研究社檚 official website, a cormorant, otter and raccoon conspired to steal a coho salmon at a feast, but were caught by the eagle, who started handing out punishments.
含羞草研究社淎s each one was getting in trouble, Raccoon became more and more afraid of what was going to happen to him because he had planned the whole idea and 含羞草研究社� became so afraid he turned white,含羞草研究社� the story noted.
