Mom Really Does Know Best! Hilarious Moment Raccoon Family Form A Chain To Help Baby Scale A Wall

#1

Moms always know best - even when they're raccoons. So it's no wonder that this fluffy Missouri mommy was able to organize her babies to scale a three-foot-high wall.

The footage was captured Thursday by police officer Chris Williams, who was on security duty at Camdenton High School, Camdenton, when he spotted the daredevil family.

'The mother raccoon leaned over the wall as the baby held onto her legs so she could reach out and grab the other baby and pull him up,' he explained. 'Great example of a mother's love and teamwork!'

'Awww mooooom!': The asphalt pup wiggles and twists as he's lifted, looking embarrassed to be caught with his mom on camera, while the other pup pushes their mom away from the edge

The video opens with the fuzzy family trying to form a human chain - or rather, a raccoon chain - on the wall.

Mom's dangling down by her back legs and reaching out for one pup while another clings onto her feet, to keep her steady.

Whether he's actually doing anything to stop his mom from toppling off the wall and onto the asphalt is doubtful - he's only a tiny little guy - but isn't making your kids feel useful another example of good parenting?

Mom grabs Junior with her hands and pulls him up to her mouth, but he quickly wriggles out and drops to the asphalt again.
