"We Ostheimer raccoons are a lively bunch! On the one hand, we are very popular because we have such a beautiful fur pattern and we move around in a cute manner. On the other hand, no one really wants us as neighbors because we are so smart, curious and clever that we can easily find our way into buildings, even if we were not invited. Look - when I sit down and roll over, I can use my skillful little hands freely!"
The Ostheimer sitting raccoon was introduced to the Ostheimer animal world in 2013, along with the running and baby raccoon.
One of the lovely things about the wooden figures from Ostheimer is the family of figures that one can play with. Many children delight to have the parent and child figures of the same family. It can be nice to add to the figures you have like this first rather than getting a different animal.
However, if one were to have only one raccoon in their collection, we sometimes recommend the small or youth figures of the animals as a cost savings, but in this instance, we do find that the larger raccoon running is a good size for a raccoon compared to many of the other animal figures you might have in your collection. The small racoon could work as your 'only' raccoon, but the racoon running, or the racoon sitting might be a better choice size-wise.
