Raccoon Relocation | 浣熊搬迁

English Original

Part of my job at the state fish and wildlife department was to lend equipment to residents for trapping and relocating raccoons. A man who had successfully captured one called to ask whether raccoons mated for life. He said his daughter was worried they might have separated a monogamous couple.

"I don't know why she's so concerned," he added. "She's been married three times."


中文翻译

我在州政府鱼类和野生动物部门工作时,部分职责是向居民出借用于诱捕和迁移浣熊的设备。一位成功捕获了一只浣熊的男士打来电话,询问浣熊是否终生只有一个伴侣。他说他的女儿担心他们可能拆散了一对一夫一妻的伴侣。

“我不知道她为什么这么在意,”他补充道,“她自己都已经结过三次婚了。”
