Central Park: Fun for the whole family! 💚🦝 This raccoon family was recently spotted in the Park learning the ropes of tree climbing. Central Park’s wildlife, like these raccoons, are resourceful. There is no need to feed any of the animals in the Park; doing so is both harmful for them and against the rules of NYC Parks. Support the Park’s wildlife by saying hi from a distance, keeping dogs on a leash, and properly disposing of trash. These curious critters thank you!
