Vicious if cornered, the sabre-toothed raccoon is a formibible adversary. If you encounter a raiding party rooting through your garbage, back away slowly and act non-threatening.
Resist the urge to refer to them as 'cute.' They are proud warriors and will not suffer the afront lightly. Likewise, under no circumstances attempt to cuddle a sabre-toothed raccoon.

And yes, they are supposed to look a little pudgy.
Holy crap, the month's half gone already!
