Look at these precious fluffs! I feel like if there was any animal in the world that represented me the best, it is a raccoon. These little friends are so unique, curious, intelligent, adaptable, and they are one of the most under appreciated creatures in the world. Every time i see a raccoon my heart warms right up! It's very hard to decide which raccoons i want to keep in my collection. There are so many coon plushies out there that if i wasn't choosey it would be out of control! The ones i've kept are the ones that i love the most!
I hope you enjoy this collection! |
Raccoon (Procyon Lotor)
The raccoon is a nocturnal mammal native to North America. They are distinguished by their masks, ringed tails, and dexterous paws. The usual habitats of the raccoon are deciduous and mixed forests, however their extraordinary adaptability has allowed them to expand their habitats to mountainous areas, marshes, and even the suburbs. Their scientific name Procyon Lotor means 'washing bear' because raccoons often appear to be washing their paws and food. Raccoons are omnivorous and will eat anything from berries and nuts, to fish and mice. Raccoons are also well known for their intelligence and curiosity. They are so smart that they can figure out complex puzzles, and locks to obtain food. In the wild, raccoons normally live between 1-3 years old, however in captivity they can live up to 20 years old.
