trash panda
Masked dumpster diver
Trash panda is affectionate slang for a raccoon, referencing the animal's masked face and habit of rummaging through garbage.
The term treats the raccoon as a scrappy, disreputable version of the beloved panda: A trash panda got into our bins again last night.
The phrase reflects internet culture's tendency to rename animals with humorous descriptors.
