Raccoon (Procyon lotor)
Found throughout British Columbia, the raccoon
is a very curious and mischievous animal with a highly developed set
of senses like hearing, eyesight and touch. The raccoon is usually found
near river banks and lakes searching for its favourite meal of frogs,
crayfish, small fish, insects, turtles, mice and fruit.
Raccoons are extremely bright and have been know
to raid garbage cans, open lids in their pursuit of a newly acquired
taste… human food. one of their favourites is corn on the cob.
Another favourite is your camp food, so store your food properly and
securely when exploring nature while wilderness camping.
Rumour has it that raccoons like to wash their
food. Not so. Because they have such sensitive forepaws and keen sense
of touch that they enjoy inspecting the food by touching it and turning
it over and over.
