Raccoons At The Zoo In A Circular Rock Home
The largest household at the zoo is a raccoon group living in a circular home built on a rock foundation atop a tall dead tree. At least 20 raccoons inhabit the den, display playful behavior, and delight visitors with their friendly nose pokes through bars. They resemble bears in diet and many features, though scientists debate their family placement. Raccoons range across North America from Florida to Mexico and into British Columbia. They eat wild fruits, corn, birds, fish, and other foods, and often raid chicken coops. Nocturnal by habit, they also entertain guests during the day but are most active at night.
