• Raccoon

  Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are medium-sized mammals native to North America, characterized by their distinctive black 'mask' around their eyes and bushy, ringed tail. They typically weigh between 3.5-9 kg (8-20 lbs) and measure 40-70 cm (16-28 inches) in body length, plus a tail. Raccoons are highly adaptable omnivores, with a diet that includes fruits, nuts, insects, eggs, small vertebrates, and even garbage in urban areas. They are primarily nocturnal and known for their cleverness and manual dexterity, often 'washing' their food in water. Raccoons inhabit a wide range of environments, from forests to cities.
