This was the moment a family of baby raccoons were rescued from the roof of a Toronto home on May 5 and reunited with their mother.

Footage shows the humane removal of the mother raccoon and her babies from behind the foam insulation of the roof.

The bunch of baby raccoons was eventually reunited with their mother outside the home, with no harm done.

A member of the rescue team explained: "Gates Wildlife Field Supervisor Joel performed a removal of a mother raccoon and her babies. He was able to successfully reunite her with one of her babies while on site.
