Extractions: Raccoons as pets How to properly care for a domestic raccoon pet. Though raccoons are bred and sold as a domestic pet I disagree that they are domestic. Domestication of an animal takes thousands of years. The raccoon can be a pet but is still very much a wild animal. While baby raccoons are sweet and endearing, adult raccoons can bite and become destructive and vicious. Rarely does a raccoon make a good pet. In some instances raccoons have made successful pets but this is often not the case. Once a raccoon becomes an adult and unmanageable people want to let them loose. A raccoon raised in a home, as a pet has no survival skills to be released into the wild. If released he will starve and die. The raccoon will be unafraid of humans and be shot. Housing bodyOffer(30487) When raccoons become adults they live solitarily. An adult raccoon will not do well with another raccoon in the house. A raccoon should not be raised in a cage. If he must be caged for short periods of time the cage should be large. If a raccoon is kept as a pet he must have the run of the house. He should have a room of his own. In his own room he can have his own bed. Raccoons are very destructive and have a tendency to dig large holes in a bed to nest. He should have his own stuff then he will be less inclined to destroy your stuff. Your raccoon can retreat into his own room and should feel safe. Provide him with pillows, blankets and sheets. Give him plenty of safe toys. They love balls, stuffed animals and many of the infant and toddler toys on the market. Raccoons are destructive but if they learn from early time on they will learn to leave your stuff alone.

http://www.raccoons-raccoons.com/raccoons-management.htm

Extractions: In some areas, the population of Raccoons is so great that there is a number of special management means designed to reduce the species count. The fact is that the Raccoon is often a nuisance for farmers. Some people consider the species a dangerous pest that harms cornfields and other agricultural areas. Source: Remo Raccoon's Home Page Due to the Raccoon's highly adaptable nature, the species seem to expand its range. It can feed on a variety of foods including animals, their eggs, and, surely, plants both wild and cultivated. The Raccoon often damages cornfields, melon patches, vineyards, and poultry yards. Valuable sites for hunting the waterfowl also suffer from this wild intelligent creature. The Raccoon often hunts bird eggs and the young. Great numbers of species are also undesirable in urban areas. The Raccoon damages residential roofs, gardens, and lawns. Trapping and hunting are extensively used to manage the number of Raccoons in an area. It is also possible to trap these animals live and transport them to remote areas with lower population densities. However, this practice may result in disease spread, particularly rabies. Sometimes, humans improve habitats for the Raccoon. Keeping in mind that the species is best with areas close to water and those with available den sites. However, the habitat does not need improvement in urban areas. Raccoons adapt easily to urban life and their range seems to be expanding.

Raccoon (Procyon Lotor)
WHAT DO raccoons EAT? In the wild, a raccoon is omnivorous, eating plantsand animals. Its menu includes plants like berries, acorns, and grapes.
http://pelotes.jea.com/AnimalFact/Mammal/raccoon.htm

Extractions: Raccoon (Procyon lotor) Click on speaker to hear the Raccoon WHAT IS A RACCOON? The raccoon is a medium-sized mammal with a black mask and ringed tail. Its fur is gray, brown, or reddish black. This mixture of light and dark colors helps it to camouflage, or blend into the forest. Adult raccoons weigh 15 - 20 pounds, but may weigh as much as 40. Raccoons can open garbage cans, jars, and latches. However, the raccoon does not always dip its food in water. It may also eat the food even if it is still dirty. They thought the raccoon needed to wet its food to be able to swallow it. But now, we know that raccoons do have enough saliva. The new reason scientists think raccoons wash their food is to press it and squash it to make sure there are no sharp bones or dangerous bits in the food. WHERE DO RACCOONS LIVE? The raccoon lives in almost all areas of the United States and in southern Canada and northern Mexico. Although it prefers to live in woods near a stream or marsh, the raccoon is a very adaptable animal. Instead of using a tree to sleep in, it can use a chimney or a ditch culvert.

In spite of predictions of environmental doom and gloom when new subdivisions are built, many species of wildlife seems to recover rather rapidly and adjust well to human presence. Most critters even learn to tolerate a dog or two or at least to plan their escape routes should Sassy or Sunny zip out the door in hot pursuit. But many dogs manage to get up close and personal with wildlife, much to their peril and the chagrin of their owners. Hunting comes naturally to our domesticated wolves, and the kill is frequently part of the process. Dogs bred for the hunt, dogs with high prey or defense drive, and dominant dogs of any breed will stalk or chase anything that moves or squeals. No animal is safe, not the neighbor's cat or the baby robin or the nest of bunnies in the garden. Once a dog targets its prey, chemical reactions in the brain take over and the chase is on.

By House Joint Resolution 156, the 87th General Assembly adopted the raccoon as Tennessees wild animal. The raccoon, Procynn lotor , is a furry animal that has a bushy, ringed tail and a band of black hair around its eyes which looks like a mask. Raccoons, often called coons, eat fish and frogs that they catch in rivers and streams. Raccoons living in Tennessee measure from 30 to 38 inches long, including their tails. They weigh from 12 to 25 pounds. Most males are larger than females. Raccoons walk like bears, with all four feet on the ground, and are good swimmers. Raccoons are small, very adaptable mammals from North and South America and a few tropical islands. They live in a variety of habitats, including marshes, forests, prairies, cities, and suburbs. These nocturnal (most active at night) animals have a life span of about 6 years in the wild.

Extractions: Cover Page Contents ARD Past Issues ... Other stories S ome city dwellers don't want any animals in their homes or backyards. Others want only household pets. Still others enhance their landscapes to attract wildlife. As more wild animals make their homes in cities, whether under a porch, in a wooded park or in a wildlife-friendly backyard, they bring with them the potential for diseases that can affect pets, people and other animals. This has created a need for veterinarians to know more about how these animals impact public health. "In rural areas, people who work with agricultural and wild animals have learned that you can get diseases from animals. People in urban areas are less likely to have that awareness," said Laura Hungerford, epidemiologist at the University of Nebraska's Great Plains Veterinary Educa-tional Center at Clay Center. The Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources veterinary scientist teamed with colleagues from research foundations and laboratories across the country to study raccoons living in residential areas, wooded preserves and parks in Illinois. Scientists captured the masked critters, collected samples and fitted them with radio tracking collars to determine where they lived, the diseases they carried and the impact of these diseases on pets and their human owners. They used geographic information systems and statistical analyses to detect disease patterns.

They live in a variety of habitats, including marshes, forests, prairies , cities, and suburbs. These nocturnal (most active at night) animals have a life span of about 6 years in the wild. Anatomy : Raccoons have distinctive black patches around their eyes that look like a mask. They have a bushy, black-ringed tail, clawed feet, and a pointed snout. They have long fingers and toes and an acute sense of touch. Newborn raccoons do not have black eye patches or a ringed tail; these develop after a few days. Raccoons grow to be about 18 to 26 inches (46-66 cm) long plus a striped, furry tail 9 to 12 inches (23-30 cm) long. Diet : Raccoons are omnivores ; they will eat almost anything, including

Extractions: Snoodleberries Snoodleberries. That's what I called them. I realize this nickname was not really appropriate for a grown woman to use in the serious world of wildlife biology, but it was often the first word that came to mind when I saw adorable baby animals. And those three newborn raccoons were adorable - definitly snoodleberries! The day I met them was a critical one. I was volunteering in the wildlife rehabilitation clinic when I found a note indicating the little snooleberries needed to be bottle-fed. I warmed their milk, drew some up in a syringe (it makes a perfect little bottle) and placed the nipple securely on the tip. When I opened the incubator, I heard their squeals as they wiggled about helplessly. Reaching over a large soft teddy bear who watched through wistful glass eyes, I scooped one tiny raccoon bundle into my hand. He fit nicely, the size of an overstuffed bratwurst, with eyes closed and four miniature legs flailing. A black mask was already developing across his face, which as an adult would reduce glare and help his night vision.

Extractions: The raccoon is one of the best known and most easily recognized mammals in our region. They are very adaptable and intelligent animals, capable of living in close proximity to humans. In North Carolina, raccoons are most common in the eastern coastal plain section because of the abundant wetland habitat. DESCRIPTION Raccoons are medium sized mammals, with adults ranging in weight from about 8 to 20 pounds and a length of 28 to 33 inches. Male raccoons are generally larger than the females. The fur is relatively long with an overall coloration of grizzled gray to brownish black. The most distinctive features of the raccoon are the black-ringed tail and the blackish coloration on the front of the face which resembles a bandit's mask. RACCOON
