Since the two main characters were raccoons it got me wondering about the average life span of a raccoon. The answer, only 2-3 years in the wild, however, raccoons in captivity can live up to 20 years. That's a big difference! ]]> 2018-03-05 20:50:37 UTC https://padlet.com/janiebooboo/t81i7ic5g7vo/wish/238352570 janiebooboo https://padlet.com/janiebooboo/t81i7ic5g7vo/wish/238353529 Audie Brayburn's car he lost when he was camping by the river. It is still in the swamp form the storm and is now being used as the raccoons headquarters. This made me wonder how expensive are theses cars, considering how nice it looks in the picture. Answer, a restored 1949 Desoto sells for close to $22,000.

The swamp becomes in danger when Sonny Boy decided to sell the swamp to an alligator wrestler named Jaeger Stitch. This got me thinking, is there such a thing as an alligator wrestler?

This made me thing, do pigs actually eat sugar cane? The answer is yes, they do! In fact a steady diet of sugar cane can actually increase the weight of the pigs, which make them more marketable if they are being raised to be sold. ]]> 2018-03-05 21:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/janiebooboo/t81i7ic5g7vo/wish/238363756
