My name is Joel and I really love wild racoons, especially ones that have two or more legs. One time I was rotating quickly when a wiley tree racoon descended from a branch and bit me square on the triple nose, startling me quite muchly as one would expect.I am 8 years old.RACCOON FACTSRaccoons have keen senses of smell and hearing. They are strong and agile like me, hence good tree and fence climbers. Each foot has five long and slender digits, which operate with remarkable dexterity. In the wild, they use their front feet for finding food in water, opening shellfish, and conveying food to the mouth (eating). In adapting to human habitat, they often apply this dexterity to opening garbage cans and pet food storage containers..as do I.TIPS1. Raccoons Raiding Garbage Cans:
Raccoons have learned, through adapting to human habitat, that garbage cans are excellent sources of food. To raccoon-proof a garbage can, fasten the lid securely with rope, bungee cords, chain, or even weights. To prevent cans from being knocked over and rolled around, secure the handle to a metal or wooden stake driven into the ground. Store garbage cans in wooden bins or in a shed or garage to limit raccoon access. As a last effort, place an inch or so of ammonia-soaked newspaper or rags in the bottom of the garbage can and sprinkle cayenne pepper on top of the garbage to discourage raccoons. Handle ammonia carefully, and keep in mind that it is toxic to children and animals. The ammonia is intended to deter raccoons with its odor, not to injure them.2. Raccoons in the House:
Occasionally a raccoon will find its way into a house through a pet door or chimney and be unable to find its way out.
A panicked raccoon can cause extensive damage, so close doors to all other rooms in the house, open doors and windows to the outside and leave the house. Wait quietly for the raccoon to find its way out. Do not use food as a lure; this will make wildlife associate food with humans and return for more. If the raccoon has not left in a reasonable period of time, call your local wildlife agency. Only professionally trained wildlife workers should attempt capture (as opposed to live-trapping) of raccoons.Wallflip
