Raccoon

Description:

The raccoon is the masked bandit of the Okefenokee swamp. I was quite surprised to see them wading through the swamp waters. There were three of these raccoons when I spotted them. We were informed as campers to be alert because raccoons are not only "cute" but are also intelligent, and can crack a camper's cooler in less than five minutes. The raccoon is the most abundant fur-bearing animal in the Okefenokee swamp eating berries, frogs, fish, reptile eggs, and anything else it can find.

Habitat:

Okefenokee Swamp, Stephen C Foster State Park, Fargo, Georgia
