Common Raccoon (Procyon lotor). The most distiguishable charateristics of the raccoon are its black mask across the eyes and bushy tail with anywhere from four to ten black rings. The forepaws resemble slender human hands and make the raccoon unusually dextrous. Both their forepaws and hindpaws have five toes.PL 09SE0027
Common Raccoon (Procyon lotor). Raccoons are omnivorous, consuming a varied diet that includes berries, insects, fruit and small mammals. Raccoons sometimes wash, or douse, their food in water before eating it. It is not known why raccoons perform dousing, but cleaning food is unlikely to be the reason.
