General information on raccoons ... A raccoon usually shuffles along with slow, deliberate steps. Perhaps because of its lumbering walk and the fact that its rear end stands higher than its front quarters, the animal looks rather clumsy. However, it can bound away very quickly to the nearest tree, climbing it with ease.

The raccoon is omnivorous which means they eat both plants and animals. Their diet is very broad, consisting of aquatic animals, fruits, nuts, cultivated crops and grains, birdseed, bird eggs, small mammals, birds, and garbage.
