What is a Raccoon?
Raccoons are clever mammals known for their striped tails, black face masks, and sneaky behavior. They live in forests, cities, and countryside areas, mostly in North America. A raccoon usually weighs between 10 and 20 pounds (4 to 9 kilograms) and can live up to 5 or 6 years in the wild. They are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and explore at night. Raccoons use their front paws almost like hands, helping them open containers, dig for bugs, or grab shiny objects. They eat fruits, insects, eggs, and even leftovers from human homes. Their thick fur keeps them warm, and their curious minds make them great explorers. With their clever tricks and playful ways, raccoons are some of the most fascinating forest friends to learn about.
