The Innovators

Raccoons and Vikings

Once, we had an armored ambulance parked in the woods.

Every door was locked. The main door in the back was padlocked for good measure.

Somehow, someone got in the compartment.

Bandages and needles were strewn all over the place. Meals Ready to Eat packages, designed to survive a parachute drop, were ripped apart.

Sticky, dark brown feces smeared the walls.

Handprints revealed the culprit.

With their little hands, raccoons are able to get everywhere.

They innovate, like the Vikings- who used waterways to get to tasty prizes hidden behind armored walls.
