Read on to learn more about raccoons!
Here I would like to familiarise you with the Raccoon! There playful antics,
and personality is something to share with children as they forage for grubs
and play in bird baths. But keep your distance from them, as the mother raccoon
is extremely protective of her young!
A raccoon is an animal that prefers dim light or darkness. There eyes are
adapted to low light conditions, and bright sunlight will hurt its eyes. A
raccoon will actually hide its eyes if the sun comes out and is too bright. If
you see a raccoon outside on a sunny day, dont go near it! It is not acting
normally, and could be sick!
A raccoon is a medium sized animal found in North America. She gets as big
as 50 pounds in some areas, and live as long as 12 years, although the average
is 6 years. The female Raccoon can have Baby Raccoons after she
is a year old, and has an average litter of 4 baby raccoons. She will have her
babies in a hole in the ground, or a hollow tree, or in an attic
of a home where she has been on the roof! Raccoons like to climb on
roofs and play in trees like monkeys. Most times they will climb tree branches
to get on a roof, but sometimes they will climb a support pole, or a gutter down
spout to get there. Feeding raccoons can be fun to watch, but
may not be such a good idea in the city. Neighbors may blame you for them having
a raccoon in an attic. So, make sure before you feed raccoons that your
neighbors are alright with it.
Raccoons in attics will poop and pee all over insulation, and require all
insulation to be removed and disinfect, and deodorized. Costing thousands of
dollars in all cities of Los Angeles.
Raccoons can get sick, and do carry parasites that you can pick up too.
Fleas, ticks, and lice can get picked up from raccoons! Raccoon round
worm is an intestinal parasite which raccoons can pass to people.
Raccoon Roundworm spores are in the poop of a raccoon (we call
them raccoon droppings) These spores can be dried in the raccoon droppings,
and blow with the wind when disturbed. It can got into your eye, or lungs, then
incubate into a worm!
Pet Raccoons The idea of having a pet raccoon some look
forward to realising. But the truth is, that raccoons are wild animals. They
should be left in the wild. A sick or injured raccoon should be cared for by a
rehabilitator with a license issued by the state. Raccoons need to be dewormed
and have shots to protect from distemper and rabies.
