This spring my co-worker and I rescued two (had been three) very young orphaned raccoons. Had "Babes In the Wood" going through my head all day! When we packaged them up to take them to the wildlife rehabilitator who had the raccoon formula, they were huddled together with their paws around each other.

Geez, it's a wolf eat moose world out there and animal babies are orphaned all the time and die in the woods alone, but we couldn't just let them starve or die or dehydration. (They were too young to drink the water we left for them while trying to find a rehabilitator who would take them.)
