A raccoon (Procyon lotor) is contained within a black wire mesh cage with a black slatted plastic floor, situated in an animal retail or shelter environment in Kathu, Thailand. The raccoon, with tan and brown fur, a ringed tail, and a dark facial mask, is positioned on its haunches, leaning against the wire mesh. Its front paws are raised against the wire, and its head is tilted upwards and backwards with its mouth open, exposing teeth. Adjacent to the raccoon, within what appears to be an adjoining section of the cage, a small, empty, reddish-brown wooden bowl rests on the slatted floor. A light brown, furred limb, likely belonging to another animal, is partially visible in the far right of this adjacent section. The background reveals a large, multi-tiered wooden enclosure with a decorative roof and wheels, along with various other wire cages, yellow plastic containers, and green and pink plastic accessories. The flooring in the background is concrete.
