A masked bandit guilty for tipping garbage cans for food, the racoon is a shifty character. Racoons are nocturnal, so they are hard to catch in the act of toppling garbage cans. Racoons have a burglar-like mask that stretches just across their eyes, giving them a very weird look.
Racoons are omnivorous and will eat whatever they can get their germy little paws on. Racoons, before eating their food, often clean it in water first. Tests have been done showing that food is cleaned by racoons in captivity more than it is done by wild racoons.
Racoons stay away from wide open spaces and beech trees. They tend to climb trees when they get scared, so open spaces are a no-no for them. Beech trees are so slippery, racoons have a tough time getting their claws into them.
That is all I have to say on the racoon.
