Came upon this little Raccoon swimming across the channel. Figured I would pick him up and drop him off at the nearest island. I guess he was exhausted because within a couple of minutes, he was sound asleep and I couldn't wake him up. I went on with my day and ended up taking him back to the main island. Big Pine Key is a wild deer sanctuary with not a lot of people and cars so I think he will be happy there.

  • He had to have been on his last bit of strength to just fall asleep next to a human so fast. You saved him. Good job brother.
  • @lyndaanneshop
    That's a nocturnal fella. He must have been in that water a long time and was so exhausted. He needed that sleep so badly. What an angel you are.
  • The immediate loss of consciousness is a clear indication that he was pushing himself past the point of exhaustion. You’re a goddamn HERO.
  • @RedEyedCowboy
    "Raccoon Uber" this man is the hero we all wanted.
  • @j.s.2281
    The fact that he took him to a different island, got it some food and avoided using his motor so it could sleep earns my respect lol what an awesome guy!!!
  • A man's character isn't judged by how he treats the strong, but how he treats the weak. Good job man.
  • @ThingAnderson
    Lights out that fast, right next to a human, non-responsive to human touch and continuing to sleep through it. That’s not just tired. That’s exhaustion.
  • @BrightSkies7
    This is how humans should treat animals- with nothing but kindness and respect. Thanks for being so gentle
  • Poor little guy was probably exhausted. No telling how long it had been trying to swim to safety. Thanks for keeping it from being a shark's lunch! 👏👏👏
  • I ain't mad at saving a trash panda, I used to work overnight security for a few years and they were always super friendly to me. Had one stand up on its hind legs one night making raccoon noises while moving his hands like he was an Italian speaking to me for about 30 seconds, still makes me smile to this day
  • @docbrown3139
    he must’ve been so scared and tired to get knocked out like that. Can’t believe he let you touch him so many times even when he was awake really trusted you, this was so wholesome.
  • @Kaiimei
    Human: rescues cute animal ALso human: "Must. Pet. Too. CUTE!"
  • @gustabiggie
    A person who takes their entire day just to help someone else or an animal when they weren’t obligated to, is the type of person the world could use more of. Thanks.
  • @teenieteenez
    I love the fact that this guy didn't wake him up and changed his whole plan to accommodate the sleepy little guy. Well done Sir. ❤
  • @Vejur9000
    He was too weak to keep swimming, and was clearly exhausted. He also thanked you. You did a good deed.
  • Any man that can show compassion for an animal that is on it's last legs, and even takes the time to take him to a place he will live a better life, is a real man. Well done sir.
  • I am glad you picked him up because I don’t think that first mangrove patch holds fresh water or much food. There will always be time for another fishing day.
  • @Kookiekat07
    Oh that poor baby was absolutely exhausted. I can only imagine the fatigue their little body was feeling. Thank you for rescuing him and allowing him to rest safely and taking him back to an environment he knows ❤️
