Common Raccoon
The Common Raccoon (Procyon lotor) is a widespread, medium-sized, omnivorous mammal of North America. It has black facial colorings around the eyes, and has a bushy tail with light and dark alternating rings. The coat is a mixture of gray, brown, and black fur. The characteristic eye colorings make the animal look like it is wearing a "bandit's mask," which has enhanced the animal's reputation for mischief, vandalism, and thievery.Photo credit: Darkone
