The moment she brought over her babies too! We spoke to Claudia from Delmar Farm Sanctuary about how Randy would swim in the pig's pool, and how she even taught her little babies to do the same!

00:00She was constantly climbing the fence and going into a little pig's pool.

00:04At first we thought it was really cute.

00:07It's so hot we ended up putting a pool out for her too.

00:10Well, she started to visit every day.

00:13Can I help you?

00:14And then one night I discovered this raccoon was stealing food.

00:19I see you. You're not supposed to be in here.

00:21I don't have anything.

00:23We started calling her Randy.

00:26And little Randy got so comfortable that she seemed to definitely trust me.

00:31Listen, you, you can't get too brave.

00:34We had sort of a cute little connection.

00:37Well, hello there, little angel. Hi.

00:40So one day she felt comfortable enough to show up with her babies.

00:44Oh my gosh. Look at your babies, Randy. Hi.

00:50I was like, oh my God, this is so cute.

00:52It was just such a beautiful surprise.

00:54Hi, sweetheart. You're the babies again. Oh my God.

00:58They started living in this particular tree.

01:01And Randy was a great mom.

01:04Good morning.

01:06In the summer, the raccoons are going and hanging out and sharing the pools with the pigs.

01:10You know, it's really beautiful to see.

01:14Despite the different species, there is a sense of coexistence.

01:19My 26 years being here at the sanctuary, there is so much construction going on that so much of the natural habitat has been taken away.

01:26And then they have nowhere else to go.

01:28But I feel like they have found comfort here.

01:32Are we going into your house?

01:35They're welcome to stay here as long as they like.

01:38Good morning, little guys. Hi, Thumbelina.

01:41You guys want your breakfast? Is this something new? We're coming for breakfast now too?

01:46Is that something new with you guys?

01:48I'll imagine.

01:50I'll see you later.
