Zella the pet Raccoon

A mischievous raccoon is turning heads as her owner takes her for a walk to burn off energy. The 6 month-old furry character with a penchant for chocolate drops is causing chaos on her daily stroll. Young raccoon Zella, aged just six months old, is the latest addition to a children's pet party company which is based in the town. But she's been stopping traffic as she takes her long walks along, getting thrown out of Argos, and causing just about everyone who sees her to stop and do a double take. "We never get very far, we get stopped all of the time," said her owner Liz Kirby who runs Noah's Ark Exotic Pet Parties.
