Description
This photo required another combat crawl on my belly through the grass and bushes, and those horrible Rosebushes! Ouch! These little fellers were quiet and never made a sound. They sure like each other. No sibling rivalry, yet! I didn't see Mommy, but I later learned she is around. Don't worry I wasn't this close. I have a long lens on. (just so you know). I know they are pesky little masked bandits.. but those faces!
Raccoons are large mammals, most often seen dead on roadsides or at night going through garbage cans. They are shy creatures, active at night.
Raccoons are often thought to be close relatives of weasels, but they are actually more closely related to pandas.Their fur is grayish brown with black markings. Raccoons are easily identified by the black mask on the face and a bushy tail with four to six black rings.
Raccoons den in hollow trees, fissures in rocks, caves, or burrows (usually old fox, woodchuck or skunk burrow). They almost always live near water. They will also move into a muskrat house.Raccoons are omnivorous and eat almost anything, including: nuts, berries, acorns, leaves, grasshoppers, crickets, grubs, worms, dragonfly larvae, clams, wasps, salamanders, frogs, crayfish, snakes, turtles and their eggs, bird eggs and nestlings, fish, voles, and squirrels. They often eat garbage scraps and at times have been seen eating dead animals on the sides of roads.
