An Arlington, Virginia, family recently had their house's chimney capped, not realizing that a raccoon mother and her four kits had been living inside.
Animal Control removed her and two babies from the house. "But the next day, someone heard more chattering," said Lori Thiele of the US Humane Society.

The babies probably hadn't nursed in more than 72 hours. Humane Society workers rehydrated them and placed them in what they call "a reunion box" with a camera nearby.
Sure enough, the raccoon mother returned after three days of separation, scooping them up and taking them to their new home.
