Meet Ma Raccoon! Ma is a forest dwelling raccoon. She is far into pregnancy and needs a place to have her offspring. Raccoons reproduce in late winter and have their babies in mid spring. The fathers are not really involved in raising offspring, so Ma is on her own.
Ma lives in a small park forest in Portage, Indiana called Imagination Glen. Imagination Glen is the perfect place for a raccoon to live!
There are people nearby, but it doesn't bother her much!
Imagination Glen has everything she needs!
Shelter
The trees and bushes provide many places to hide from predators.
Food
There are lots of seeds, berries, crustaceans, eggs, and other tasty treats for her.
Water
Salt Creek runs through the woods, providing her with clean drinking water.
She spots an empty tree hollow far up an old oak. What luck! This is the perfect place for her to have her babies.
