This incident took place four years back when Amy Williams and her husband observed some raccoons visiting their backyard to eat the food that they leave for the neighborhood cats.
Even though almost all of the other raccoons left after having their meals, one momma raccoon always remained behind. She was not shy at all and would make her way to Amy’s back porch. This creature appeared to beg standing on her hind legs.
Amy observed that one of the creature’s eyes were injured and this made it easier to distinguish her from the rest. One night this momma raccoon visited the house with four babies.
She continued to bring her babies along until winter arrived. After a long period of absence, the mother raccoon reappeared during springtime with five new babies. The third year arrived and the raccoon momma visited with two new babies.
In the fourth year, Amy was looking forward to meeting the mother and baby raccoons. Little did she know that she would receive a pleasant surprise.
As Amy and her husband were sitting on the back porch, the momma raccoon emerged from the woods with three babies and all three of them turned out to be albino baby raccoons. The two humans were shocked because they had never seen albino raccoons before.
Amy and her husband never expected that they would be witnesses to such an astounding event. She did not forget to capture some images of the rare babies and shared them online for the rest of the world to see.
“From what I’ve read, one albino baby is about 1 in 500,000 to 750,000, and three in one litter is 1 in 10 million. If it’s that rare, I’m so happy to be sharing it with people!” Amy conveyed.
The human even contacted some wildlife experts to make sure whether it would be fine for the momma raccoon and her babies to be on their own and so far they appear to be doing alright.
Even though she has lost sight in one eye, the mother raccoon seems to be taking extremely good care of her albino babies. Isn’t that just heartwarming?
