raccoon
Ringed-tail night forager
A raccoon is a medium-sized mammal native to North America, recognizable by its grayish fur, bushy ringed tail, and black mask-like markings across the eyes.
Raccoons are nocturnal and notably dexterous, using their front paws to manipulate food and open containers.
They thrive in forests and urban areas alike, often raiding garbage cans: We heard raccoons getting into the trash last night.
