North American Raccoon

Procyon lotor

Description:

Raccoon chewing a branch and he looks like praying.

Habitat:

The original habitats of the raccoon are deciduous and mixed forests, but due to their adaptability they have extended their range to mountainous areas, coastal marshes, and urban areas, where some homeowners consider them to be pests. As a result of escapes and deliberate introductions in the mid-20th century, raccoons are now also distributed across the European mainland, the Caucasus region and Japan.

Notes:

Taken on Mount Royal Park, in Montreal, Qc, Canada
