Welcome to the fascinating world of raccoons! These amazing creatures, with their distinctive mask-like markings on their faces and fluffy tails, are some of the most interesting representatives of North American fauna. Raccoons not only draw attention with their appearance but also surprise with their behavior and adaptability to various environmental conditions.

Raccoons are commonly found in forests, parks, and even suburbs, where they often scavenge leftover objects from human activities.

These clever mammals are excellent climbers and can quickly adapt to their surroundings.
