5 Interesting Facts About Raccoons!

Raccoons are extraordinarily dexterous - their front paws have five nimble fingers and a highly developed sense of touch that becomes even more sensitive when wet, which is why they appear to 'wash' their food.
They can open locks, untie knots and manipulate complex mechanisms - researchers testing raccoons on puzzle boxes found they could open most locks within a few attempts, even with their eyes covered.
Raccoons have colonised cities across the world - originally a North American animal, escaped or released populations have established themselves across Germany, Japan and parts of Europe, thriving in urban environments.
Their name comes from the Powhatan word 'aroughcun' meaning 'one who rubs, scrubs and scratches with its hands' - a perfect description of their perpetually busy front paws.
Baby raccoons stay with their mother for about a year - she teaches them foraging, climbing and social skills before they establish their own territories. Mother raccoons are devoted and protective parents.
