This raccoon is exactly what we were looking for!! It's a really good size (possibly the size of a real small adult raccoon) and is so soft that you might have a hard time putting it down! The colors are vivid and bright and it is very well constructed. It looks just like the picture and, as far as I can tell, that is the only pose it can be put into. But, it is a perfect pose for a raccoon, in my opinion. You won't be disappointed by this one!
