From Oaken Acres Wildlife Center

Good Sunday morning from............BALDY!

It's almost hard to tell what BALDY is, right? Well, since Oaken Acres is the raccoon capitol of northern Illinois, it's probably a raccoon:) She was cold when she came in so Analiese found a glove in the center and cut it out to make her a little jacket.

Were I to get a totally bald baby animal I would have wished for an armadillo but.......not this time. BALDY's littermates have fur so it's not mange. It's all over so probably not alopecia. It's ????? I guess we'll play wait and see to find out if she will grow any hair at all. The three in the litter are all a bit different in regards to their fur. There's BALDY with none. Then there's 50% with thinning fur but coverage over the body. And then there's 100% who looks totally normal. Guess we'll find out!
