Procyon lotor

Also known as North American Raccoon, Northern Raccoon, Common Raccoon

Raccoons are highly adaptable, nocturnal omnivores easily recognized by their black facial masks and ringed tails. Their incredibly sensitive, hand-like front paws allow them to manipulate objects with human-like dexterity, enabling them to open latches, turn doorknobs, and forage in water. Highly intelligent and resourceful, they thrive in both deep forests and bustling urban centers.
