Procyon lotor
A medium-sized mammal native to North America. It is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 40 to 70 cm (16 to 28 in) and a body weight of 3.5 to 9 kg (8 to 20 lb). The raccoon is usually nocturnal and is omnivorous, with a diet consisting of about 40% invertebrates, 33% plant foods, and 27% vertebrates. Raccoons are noted for their intelligence, with studies showing that they are able to remember the solution to tasks up to three years later.
Found "foraging" in Rondeau Provincial Park.
