Did you know?
Raccoons are highly intelligent North American mammals known for their distinctive black facial mask and dexterous front paws. They are primarily nocturnal, solitary foragers that live near water and eat a varied diet including crayfish, frogs, insects, and fruit. Their intelligence rivals that of great apes in some problem-solving tasks, and they are notorious for opening containers and raiding garbage cans. In their natural habitat, raccoons are excellent swimmers and climbers, making dens in tree hollows, burrows, or rock crevices. Their scientific name, Procyon lotor, means 'before-dog washer,' referring to their habit of dunking food in water before eating.
