National Wildlife Week

Today's theme is wildlife that climbs:Raccoons: These animals are often referred to as "bandits" due to their mask-like facial markings, their nocturnal lifestyle, and the fact that they will eat almost anything they can get their paws into.  However, did you know that these animals behave in a social setting similar to lions?  While raccoons are mostly isolated, during mating season a small group of related female raccoons will live and raise young together while unrelated males bond and live together.
