What Is the Habitat of Raccoons?
Initially, raccoons lived in the tropics and they could be found foraging along riverbanks; they lived in trees, burrows, emerging at dusk to hunt. Now they can be found in barns, ever since the raccoons started migrating to northern countries and adapting to new territory. Raccoon populations do very well in urban areas due to a lack of predators and an abundance of available human food.
Is A Maine Coon from the Raccoon Family?
Main Coons are cats and they are believed to be descendants of the Norwegian Forest Cats kept on Viking ships to catch mice. People have argued that the Coon’s distinctive long bushy tail is to similar to the raccoon, to be ignored. Thanks to the advances in modern science, scientists have now categorically proven this myth to be biologically impossible; Maine Coons are not related to Raccoons.
