True facts
- Raccoons have a black "mask" around their eyes. Maybe that's why they look like bandits!
- Their front paws work almost like hands. They feel for food under the water.
- Raccoons are mostly awake at night.
- Baby raccoons are called kits. They stay with their mom for most of their first year.
