A family of raccoons has been caught on camera having their own pool party in a California couple’s backyard.
A video, taken by a delighted animal-loving couple in Huntington Beach, shows the wildlife happily swimming around the pool at the start of the long Memorial Day weekend.
Jimmy Senna, said he and his partner Gina Williams were woken up around 5:35 a.m. on Friday morning by their dog, Hank, barking loudly and “going crazy.”
When Senna got up to see what was bothering the dog, he noticed the unique scene.
“I tried to calm Hank down and went back to bed, and he got even crazier! Sena told KTLA.

“I looked back again and saw three raccoons all standing at the edge of the pool, either playing or fighting.”
Moments later, he recalled, a raccoon fell into the pool and the other two jumped in.
The raccoons stayed in the pool for about 20 minutes and “were not worried at all about watching us,” he added.
“That was a first – I’ve never seen anything like this in the 20+ years I’ve lived here.”
Two of the animals eventually left, while the third remained for another 45 minutes.
‘We are real animal lovers’ Mrs Williams told ABC 7,” so it was an ultimate moment for us, and entertainment at its best. It was a great way to start the morning.
“Look at this guy right here, he’s like, ‘Hey guys, I’m in the deep end,'” Williams can be heard saying on the recording.
When the raccoons finished swimming, they relaxed on the stairs.

Despite their adorable appearance, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife advises people not to approach or feed raccoons.
Raccoons can become aggressive when threatened, food conditioned or used to humans official advice states.
“Don’t approach, confront or try to handle it – Raccoons may bite or scratch when frightened, startled or threatened.”
