The Raccoon is a mammal native to
North America.
Raccoons are
omnivorous, eating about 40% invertebrates,
33% plants, and 27% vertebrates.
The original
habitats of the raccoon are mixed forests, but they extended
their range to mountainous areas, coastal marshes,
and urban areas.
Raccoons especially enjoy
urban settings. Because they're so intelligent, raccoons can thrive in
urban environments and figure out how to navigate human-made
obstacles.
