Raccoon Facts.
Raccoons are capable of achieving body masses made up of 50%
body fat, but it is mostly the animals in the cooler regions that achieve
this.
Their tails can make
up 52% of their length, up to 405 mm.
Raccoons do not
hibernate. During extremely cold periods raccoons have been known to sleep
for long periods, but do not hibernate.
These critters climb with
great ease and are not bothered by a drop of 35 to 40 feet! This is one of
the truly amazing raccoon facts!
As well as being agile climbers,
these animals are also very strong swimmers, although they are often
reluctant to enter the water because without waterproof fur, swimming forces
them to take on extra weight.
Raccoons have
a highly developed tactile sense. Their human-like forepaws (complete with 5
fingers) are used to pick up food with their front paws before putting it in
their mouth. Just like you do. Here's more raccoon
tracks.
These animals can live up to 16 years in the wild,
but most don't make it past their second birthday. Did you know that a captive
raccoon was recorded living for 21 years! Another of the truly amazing raccoon
facts!
Raccoons generally have one litter per year that
typically consists of 4 babies. Although they can have 3 to 7. Sexual maturity
often occurs in females before they are one year old!
These critters carry many diseases, the worst of
which is a microscopic parasite known as raccoon
roundworm. It has been known to cause death and blindness in humans. If
you've had one of these animals in your attic you need to get it disinfected to
protect you and your loved ones. Enter your first name and email below for a
special report that reveals how you can have it done.
