This is a rather comical story. Poor raccoon. They are such snoopers it serves him right to have gotten entangled.

@Deepizzaguy .........Well, Hollywood likes to perceive them that way. Cats just have minds of their own and some don't care for that.

I thought that cats have a monopoly of getting in trouble only.

You have a good point there that a raccoon in the image looked like an owl.

Poor raccoon I am glad he got rescued. Perhaps he just wanted to take a snooze in the hammock and got all tangles up,

Poor thing. He was probably pretty uncomfortable stuck in a hammock.

I am in agreement with you that a raccoon trapped in a hammock is not pleasant.
