THE RACCOONThe raccoon is famous for its ringed tail and for the black "mask" around its eyes. Raccoons can use their paws skillfully,and are quite intelligent. They eat many different things— frogs, fish, birds' eggs, fruit, and mice. Raccoons are not timid or afraid of people.They'll often take food from garbage cans.This explains, some people say, the black masks around their eyes—raccoons are garbage-can robbers!
