Raccoon
The Raccoon (Procyon lotor), sometimes spelled racoon, also known as the Common Raccoon, North American Raccoon, Northern Raccoon and colloquially as Coon, is a medium-sized mammal native to North America. The raccoon is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 16 to 28 inches, and a body weight of 8 to 20 pounds. Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur, which insulates against cold weather.
Two of the Raccoon's most distinctive features are its extremely dexterous front paws and its facial mask, which are themes in the mythology of several Native American ethnic groups. Raccoons are noted for their intelligence, with studies showing that they are able to remember the solution to tasks for up to three years. The diet of the omnivorous raccoon, which is usually nocturnal, consists of about 40% invertebrates, 33% plant foods, and 27% vertebrates.
