"Just look at how many raccoons are gathered here, it's such a beautiful sight, the most beautiful thing you could see. They're so cute, right next to the car," he added, unable to hide his wonder at the scene before him.
Shared on TikTok by user @pedro8706eltoxico, the video quickly went viral, charming viewers with the tender interaction between the Cuban man and the inquisitive raccoons. The footage reveals at least a dozen of these animals calmly exploring under the glow of a streetlight, in what appears to be a residential area or a quiet street.
