Shelter Rescuers Uncover Identity of Mystery Animal
A hairless raccoon was taken to a wildlife rehabilitation center in Nova Scotia, Canada, after a homeowner found her in their backyard. Rescuers discovered that the raccoon, named Rufus, was suffering from alopecia, causing her to lose all her fur. Despite her condition, Rufus has been accepted by other rescue raccoons and is being cared for by Hope For Wildlife. Rescuers are working to determine the cause of her alopecia and whether she can be released back into the wild in the future.
