Raccoon ..... ( Procyor loton )
Raccoon © Barbara Simpson
The Raccoon is probably one of the most familiar animals to
city folk. Masked like a bandit, this animal is a first class
clown, and fun to watch. I have sighted these animals in the
Finch Meander on more than one occasion. They are first class
climbers, swim when necessary, and habitually wash their food.
They can chatter, shriek, whistle, click their teeth, snarl and
growl. Their favorite food is crayfish, but will forage for
people food. Unfortunately there is a high incidence of rabies in
these animals, and they should never be handled. Their teeth are
sharp and they could inflict a nasty bite.
