Description
Look at this raccoon face! I don't know what she is thinking, but whatever it is, could sail a thousand ships! Don't you love me? I'm here to see you! I took this with a long lense, so I'm not as close as you would think.
Here is some of that annoying information you may or may not want to know about the Raccoon..
The size of a raccoon's home range as well as its nightly hunting area varies greatly depending on the habitat and food supply. Home range diameters of 1 mile are known to occur in urban areas. Mortality and Longevity.Raccoons die from encounters with vehicles, hunters, and trappers, and from disease, starvation, and predation. Young raccoons are the main victims of starvation, since they have very little fat reserves to draw from during food shortages in late winter and early spring. Raccoon predators include cougars, bobcats, coyotes, and domestic dogs. Large owls and eagles will prey on young raccoons. The average life span of a raccoon in the wild is 2 to 3 years; captive raccoons have lived. Viewing Raccoons Raccoons can be seen throughout the year, except during extremely cold periods. Usually observed at night, they are occasionally seen during the day eating or napping in a tree or searching elsewhere for food. Coastal raccoons take advantage of low tides and are seen foraging on shellfish and other food by day. Trails Raccoons use trails made by other wildlife or humans next to creeks, ravines, ponds, and other water sources. Raccoons often use culverts as a safe way to cross under roads. With a marsh on one side of the road and woods on the other, a culvert becomes their chief route back and forth. Look for raccoon tracks in sand, mud, or soft soil at either end of the culvert. In developed areas, raccoon travel along fences, next to buildings, and near food sources.

I love his little whiskery face and bright glowing eyes! I have never seen a racoon. We have badgers which might be the closest relation (or not!) They overturn all my potted plants at night and eat the roots ! But just to glimpse one badger in the light of the moon is worth it ! Your racoon is simply delightful! v/f
Kym Backland replied:
Jane, You are a new face to me! What gorgeous hair you have! No raccoons where you live in England? I don't know if Badgers are related either, but the coons turn over all the pots too! They are destructive, and little bandits...but, they live here, and their sweet little faces, how can you not love them? haha.. Thank you for coming by and leaving such a sweet story and giving them your favorite, and your vote too! I appreciate this! I love the paintings of "The duck".. I tried to leave a comment, but I keep geting thrown offline.. So, ciao for now Jane! Happy Valentines Day!
