Description:
The mask this little bandit wears is its most outstanding feature. The mask extends across the cheeks, eyes and nose. There is also pale gray bars above and below the large eyes to complete the "mask" affect. The raccoon has a long fine coat and a busy tail with 4 to 7 prominent dark rings. The general color is a grizzled gray to a blackish color, with the sides grayer than the back. The nape of the neck can be a rusty or reddish color and the underpants brownish with a whitish wash. The ears are edged with white or grayish hairs.
Habits:
This intelligent omnivore will eat almost anything edible including fruits, insects, frogs, fish, small mammals and birds, including their eggs. The raccoon uses its forepaws and its great manual dexterity to manipulate even the most complex food sources, including garbage cans, into its diet. In fact raccoons can and do live well in close contact with humans in urban areas. For the most part raccoons will den near water in hollow trees, rock cavities, abandoned animal burrows or any other crevice that will provide some protection. The major predators include raptors like the great horned owl and mammals such as bobcats, foxes, and coyotes. Raccoons have one litter a year, from 1 to 7 but usually 3 or 4 offspring. The young are born in the summer and will stay with the mother during the winter until the next summer. The male raccoon provides no parental care and will be aggressively chased from the den area by the female.
