Introduction
Raccoons are often referred to as little bandits due to the 'mask' on their face. And in some ways, this is a good description. They do indeed take things from human garbage and scavenge. But there is so much more to the raccoon.
The raccoon has not always been a scavenger of human trash, and that is definitely not their only role. They are interesting creatures full of history and quirks, and have long been part of native cultures in North America.
There is less variety to the raccoon than other creatures, such as dogs or cats, but there is a uniqueness to it. The raccoon is an ingrained part of American, Canadian, and other North American cultures.
