In the wild, a raccoon is an [[omnivore]], eating plants and animals. Its menu includes plants like berries, [[acorn]]s, and grapes. It also eats animals including baby [[mice]], baby [[bird]]s & [[egg]]s, [[frog]]s, [[crayfish]], fiddler crabs, [[fish]], and even some [[snake]]s. Around people, the raccoon loves to eat the [[corn]] in our gardens, garbage, and even animals that have been killed by cars ([[roadkill]]). Basically, the raccoon can live almost anywhere and eat almost anything. It can walk, run, climb, and swim. It usually walks on all fours, but can stand up straight to see over tall stumps or grasses. Raccoons live seven to ten years.

Raccoons are usually nocturnal, but in warm states, like [[Florida]], they often come out during the day. If there is a lot of food nearby, raccoons don’t travel much and have a small territory. They choose several trees inside their home range that they like to sleep in, and use different trees on different nights. Raccoons usually live alone, and the father does not help the mother to raise the babies. Three to seven babies are born around [[February]]. When they are ten weeks old, the babies leave the den and follow their mother around learning to hunt. They stay near her until the fall, when they set out on their own. Raccoons do not [[hibernate]], but they may eat extra food in the autumn to store energy.
