I volunteer at a wildlife rehabilitation center each week and sometimes bring my camera along. Today was very busy with lots of orphaned raccoons wanting their bottles, so I could only grab a moment every now and then for a photo, but I got some okay shots that shows off these cute little guys. There were two brand new litters that had been brought in last night that weren't yet used to the bottle, so even though they were emaciated and very hungry, they were a challenge to feed. C&C is always welcome, and appreciated. I know I have a lot to learn!

The new kits were quite tiny, and this guy was sucking on my friend's hand looking for milk

This baby porcupine is such a gentle little soul... quite different from the rowdy raccoons

Then he's locked away in his cage until next feeding. These guys love to snuggle and are often reluctant to go "home" with their siblings once they're fed.

Very nice shots. I see a lot of emotion captured in those eyes.

I wasn't really a fan of the first two, but all the other ones got me hooked. Great work.
