balotelli holly henderson: Funny Raccoon

Being the author of this blog now I do believe that each animal is unique and has something to show to the publicity, each animal is important to Mother-nature and has his or her own destination. Even raccoons, which most people considered to be harmful and dangerous… But, sometimes they can make you laugh (if you, of course, not an owner of the stolen carpet :-) )…

General Information

Raccoon name is derived from the Algonquin word “arakun”, meaning “scratching with hands”. Raccoons live in many parts of the world and they are about 32 inches long together with a tail. They weigh near 33 pounds (the biggest ever recorded raccoon was 60 pounds!) Raccoons live not more than 7-8 years (in wild). But in captivity raccoons can live up to 15 years. As a rule, they prefer eating fish, frogs, birds, nuts, small animals, insects and fruits. They considered to be nocturnal animals, although there were reported cases of their daytime activeness. Adore living in hollows and burrows.
