Christy Gebritz, director of operations at Oaken Acres Wildlife Center in Sycamore, feeds a three week old baby raccoon special raccoon specific baby formula with a syringe on Thursday, April 9, 2015. Oaken Acres received the raccoon after it was abandoned by its mother in someone's boat while it was stored for the winter. Gebritz said on average Oaken Acres takes in about 500 animals per year, with a rush in spring after animals give birth.
