Raccoon - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Raccoon Rig.
Raccoon idles and breathes heavily with tail swishing. He then pulls back and puffs up. At which time he shoots his head off and forward and tentacles pop out of his neck. His head then bounces and body recoils from the movement.
