Description

This rare albino raccoon, a freak of nature, likes watermelon as much as his owner, Dr. J. H. Hicks, a veterinarian at Grapevine. Dr. Hicks' dogs treed the animals while hunting recently. Because albino coons are so rare, Dr. Hicks is keeping him as a pet and hopes to obtain a female albino. The raccoon is shown eating watermelon.
