Apparently the White House had a Pet Racoon for a while.

This pic looks fake but it could just be because I'm not used to seeing Racoons in old timey pictures.

I can kind of see what you mean. Maybe this more "natural"/less staged picture is less fake looking? (source)

Yeah that one does look more real. Something about the lighting in the first one I guess? It's almost like the Racoon is blurrier. Hard to say. Fun fact though, thanks for sharing. I love Racoons!
