My sister used to be the director of the Tulsa city zoo, and has been involved with all sorts of animals for most of her 46 years. If you'd like an intelligent opinion, write to her: Niki Ganns Rt. 2 box 162 Collinsville, OK 74021 or call (918) 371-4193 She'll be happy to talk to you. My general impression of coons is that, like many wild animals, they make adorable pets--until they grow up; then they become wild 'n' woolly pains in the ass. Don't rush into this one. -- Rich Ganns
