Familia Mapache (Family of Raccoons): Shot with Nikon Z50

Mama is tired. In the tree, you see Mama's body and her triplets, all nearby. I stumbled upon this family of raccoons in Spanish River Park, Florida. They stayed and stared as I took pictures. Mama never even woke up to look my way. But, the little kits/cubs were so fascinated with me and my camera.
