raccoons
Garbage bin raiders
Raccoons is the plural of raccoon, a medium-sized nocturnal mammal native to North America, recognizable by its black facial mask and ringed tail.
Raccoons are known for their dexterous front paws and opportunistic diet—they raid garbage cans, campsites, and anywhere else food is accessible: The raccoons got into the trash again.
