City Rascals - Raccoon bandits and cheeky macaques

Raccoons and macaques are very good at getting around the urban jungle and it seems that they have an insatiable appetite for mischief! They are just the right size, not too big to draw too much attention to themselves, and yet big enough to make use of all the amenities designed for humans to use.

it seems that these animals never out-grow their curiosity

For the young this is their playground, and it seems that these animals never out-grow their curiosity. The crafty raccoons duck and dive through the streets of Toronto, Canada, at night, and the clever macaques run riot in the streets of Jaipur, India. These macaques are so bold that they are happy to share the daylight hours with humans and in some places they even squat their houses!
