Raccoon Hands: Raccoons have tiny hands with five fingers, just like people! They use their hands to feel around and pick up food, open doors, and even turn on faucets.
Masked Bandits: Raccoons are known for their "mask" of black fur around their eyes. This makes them look like little bandits, but it actually helps them see better at night.
Nighttime Adventures: Raccoons are nocturnal, which means they are awake at night and sleep during the day. They love to explore and find food when it's dark.
Super Climbers: Raccoons are excellent climbers. They can climb trees, fences, and even buildings! Their sharp claws help them grip onto surfaces.
Water Play: Raccoons love water and are great swimmers. They sometimes dip their food in water before eating it, which looks like they are washing it.
Smart and Sneaky: Raccoons are very smart animals. They can solve puzzles and remember things for a long time. They can even figure out how to open trash cans to find food.
