Blood lead levels of wild raccoons (Procyon lotor) from the eastern United States AN Hamir, DT Galligan, Ebel JG Jr, KL Manzell, and CE Rupprecht ABSTRACT We analyzed 161 raccoon (Procyon lotor) blood samples obtained from New Jersey (n = 109), rural Pennsylvania (n = 29) and laboratory confined animals (n = 23) in the USA for lead content; we found significantly higher levels in the New Jersey raccoons (mean = 4.4 micrograms/dl, SE = 2.9). There was no difference between the lead levels of raccoons from the other two groups (mean = 2.6, SE = 0.5 and mean = 2.5, SE = 0, respectively). This article has been cited by other articles: A. N.

In summary Raccoon facts Raccoons have adapted well to city life. While raccoon families can be fun to watch, they can also come into conflict with property owners and residents. Raccoons are found in urban, rural and wilderness areas in almost all parts of Ontario. As omnivores, raccoons feed on grubs, insects, small rodents and other small animals, eggs, fleshy fruits (like grapes), nuts and vegetables (like corn). They will also eat from garbage and composts. In Ontario, raccoons breed from January to April; gestation is eight weeks, whelping season is March to June, litter size averages three to five young, which are mobile at seven to eight weeks old and are weaned by late summer. The cubs may stay with the mother over the winter. Occasional late births may occur in mid-summer. Raccoons are mainly active at night, throughout the year. However, they may be dormant during periods of extended cold or in very deep snow conditions.

85. Dr. Sue's Raccoon Fun Page (Davis Virtual Market) 7/19/95 raccoons can carry some diseases which can be transmitted to humans and pets or touch wild raccoons or to encourage them to eat in your pets food bowl. http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/vme/DrSue/raccoon.html

FUN FACTS Raccoons Meeko, Pocahontas 's companion in the new Disney movie (POCAHONTAS) is a raccoon (rack-KOON). Actually, Captain John Smith did play a roll in the naming of this cute carnivore which is native to North and Central America. In 1612 , he wrote "There is a beast they call Aroughcun", which the Indians prized for its meat and fur. The name Aroughcun means "he scratches with his hands." The scientific name for the most common North American raccoon is Procyon lotor. Lotor is Latin for "washer" and the raccoon has been observed by many to "wash" its food. There are seven species of raccoons in the new world, five live on tropical islands, one in the Yucatan and our friend Aroughcun. Although they are classified carnivores (meat eaters) they really are omnivorous,eating fish, frogs, clams, crayfish, termites, ant larvae, mice, insects and fruit, berries, nuts and vegetables and dog and cat food if they are living in the "city." Usually, they live in forests, marshes, plains but they also thrive in urban areas. In the wild they live approximately 6 years and the females give birth to 1-7 young after a 2 month long pregnancy. The adults usually weigh about 20-25 pounds with the males larger than the females. They do not hibernate but will become dormant in the cold northern winters. The raccoons have a reputation for clever nighttime raids on garbage cans and because of their almost hand-like front paws with their long, thin mobile fingers they can learn to open cans, latches, turn on faucets and get into all kinds of fun and trouble. They use these hands to catch their food and often appear to wash their food before eating it and wash their hands, but scientists aren't sure what this behavior really means. Most raccoons lead solitary lives but they can group together for food or shelter and the young stay with their mothers through the summer and into fall. Raccoons can carry some diseases which can be transmitted to humans and pets so it is unwise to pet or touch wild raccoons or to encourage them to eat in your pets food bowl. Usually they are shy but curious.

Murray Venture into wetlands at dusk or dawn to find raccoons E-mail this story to a friend Along the water's edge, the soft mud told the story of the predawn breakfast buffet. Scraps of crayfish shell scattered in among the small bear-like footprints. After the meal, the mother and her youngsters meandered along the streambank in hopes of finding dessert. The common raccoon is not a fussy eater, and the habitat surrounding the stream will surely provide many opportunities for food before retiring to its day bed in the hollow trunk of a hardwood tree. THE MASKED BANDIT Although the most obvious and distinguishing characteristics of the raccoon are its mask and ringed tail, the Algonquin Indians named the animal Arougbcoune, which means, "he scratches with his hands." The Algonquin Indians were so impressed with the raccoon's dexterity; they thought this to be a fitting name, and it is.

Raccoon The raccoon is a common backyard "bandit" that is easy to spot with its black facemask and bushy, ringed tail. These animals are nocturnal. (That means active at night.) They spend the nighttime hours searching for food in cities and countryside. The raccoon is very good with its front paws, using them like hands. Its scientific name, Procyon lotor, means "a washer." Raccoons often seem to wash their food in the water. How can you identify a raccoon? Night Walker Kits and Cubs Historically Speaking ... Just a Reminder How can you identify a raccoon? Raccoon tracks are easy to spot because their paw print looks like a pair of small human hands. Each foot has five long toes with short, curved claws. The raccoon's body is round. It has short legs and flat feet that cause it to waddle. The bottoms of raccoon feet are hairless. Look for tracks near the water since they like to wade in woodland streams, prowling for food. Night Walker Look for raccoons at night, as they start moving around at sunset and then "disappear" after sunrise. You can find them all across Wisconsin, but they are less common in the northern counties. During the day, they rest on high ground or in hollow trees, rock crevices, burrows, caves, or buildings. Nighttime means mealtime for raccoons. They are omnivorous, which means that they eat both plants and animals. Raccoons like a mixture of nuts, fruits, berries, seeds

96. Wildlife Care™ - Raccoons All the resources needed for the care and rescue of injured or orphaned raccoons. http://www.wildlifecare.org/raccoons.html

All the resources needed for the care and rescue of injured or orphaned wild animals. HOME ABOUT WILDLIFECARE .ORG ABOUT WILDLIFE REHABBERS ... REHABBER RESOURCES It is not a Baboon! It's a Raccoon! Rescue Or Leave Alone? Most raccoons are nocturnal and enjoy their woods and creek living quarters. Humans rarely come in contact with them. A mother raccoon tends to her young with devoted love and care. While raising her babies a mother will often leave their young in the den to go forage in the middle of the day. These babies may appear to be abandoned when in reality Mother and Father are just a short distance away. In most cases it is best to leave everything as is and let nature take care of itself. Rescue! If you are convinced the mother is not going to retrieve her babies, or you've found an injured raccoon, you may need to rescue it. There are three steps to rescue. First, Do not touch the raccoon. Raccoons are the leading wild animal to date when it comes to the rabies disease Second, Do not feed the raccoon or offer it a drink. Athough this is a noble gesture it may do more harm than good in a rescue effort.
