Marian Stewart, a resident of Nanaimo害羞草研究所檚 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.
害羞草研究所淢om came down with three of her babies. She was completely blonde and those are dark little babies,害羞草研究所� Stewart said.
The genetic trait has been passed down over the years among Saysutshun害羞草研究所檚 raccoon population. Stewart said in the mid 害羞草研究所�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.
