Meeko

Meeko, an albino raccoon, was born in spring 2015. He was found in a factory in Ashland, Ohio when workers were moving a large piece of machinery. The factory workers noticed that he was alone and brought him to a wildlife rehabilitation center in Crestline, Ohio called Wildlife Haven. The rehabilitators took care of the young raccoon until he was old enough to be on his own, but he soon became too tame to be released. The rehabilitators knew that he would have a difficult time surviving in the wild because he was so reliant on people. For his safety, Meeko would have to spend the remainder of his life in captivity. In October 2015, Meeko became a permanent resident at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
