I don't know why, but this racoon reminds me of Oppie


PALMERTON, Pa. -- Bandit, the world's heaviest raccoon, rests in the lap of Deborah "Pepper" Klitsch on Jan. 30, 2001. Bandit, a junk-food crazed critter billed as the world's weightiest raccoon, died Saturday, May 8, 2004. Klitsch denied the occasional charge that she overfed the rotund raccoon, whose weight ballooned to nearly 75 pounds, three times the average for his breed. He was born with a bad thyroid gland, Klitsch said.
