The raccoon is also known as the "masked bandit" beacuse of their unique facial coloring, the raccoon is also called a bandit because of his thiervy. Raccoons are a noncturnal animal. The paws of a raccoon can manuver and open almost anything offered. They have been known to be able to open garbage can lids, garage doors, and windows. They can be found living in caves, rocks, hollowed out trees, and in your attic!
The gestation period for raccoons is about 63 days with a litter averaging four to six young being born in April or May. About 60% of the female raccoons breed and produce litters when they are one year old while males typically do not breed until their second year. Mating season for the raccooon is at its peak in February and March. When about two months old, the young begin accompaying the mother as she hunts for food. Young raccoons remain with their mother throughout the year. Raccoons are typically active from about sunset to sunrise. Researches indicate that the average life span is about three to four years.
The intellegence of a raccoon is such that it can pick an avocado from a tree, aim, and throw it at a barking dog. They can also turn door knobs, without a lock. When they climb down a tree, he backs down, except for the last few steps, when it turns around. Swimming comes easily to the raccoon, who uses water for hunting;and, they have been known to drown dogs, who have pursued them into the water. Never approach a wild raccoon, when threatened, they can defend themselves against much larger animals. Sharp teeth, sharp claws, agility, and strength, all make the raccoon the survivor that he is. Though as many as four million are trapped or hunted each year in the United States, the raccoon population seems to be increasing.
People should not handle raccoons or their waste without protection and appropriate training. Raccoons in the United States are known to carry infectious diseases that can be transmitted to humans and animals that have contact with raccoons or their waste. Raccoons expose humans to disease when handled or if there is exposure to bodily secretions or feces. Salvia, urine, feces and bites or scratched are the most commom routes of exposure. 80% of all North American raccoons carry Roundworm. This disease is caused by a parasite. The roundworm larvae cause problems as they travel through the person's muscles and various organs, including the liver, brain, lungs, and eyes. Raccoons are the primary host of this roundworm whicn is commonly found in their small intestines. Raccoons shed millions of the microscopic roundwrom eggs in their feces. People may encounter the eggs through direct contact with raccoon droppings or by touching a contaminated area or object. If they don't wash their hands, they may later transfer the eggs to their mouths, Small children are particulary vulnerable because they tend to put their hands, and other objects into their mouths. Symptoms in people may include nausea, skin irrations, tiredness, liver enlargement, loss of coordination and muscle control, blindness, and coma. Other common diseases found in racoons are: Giardiasis, Leptospirosis, Salmomella, E Coli, and Rabies. Raccoons are one of the most common species to carry rabies.

Fun Facts about Bats!
Bats are the only flying mammals. Flying squirrels only glide.
The order that bats are in is called “Chiroptera,” meaning
hand-wing. The bat wing structure is similar to a human hand. There
are 4 long “fingers” with thin skin stretched
between them. The thumb is small, has a nail on it, and is
useful for
crawling, grooming, and holding onto food.
There are 1,105 different species of bats in the world, making
up about a quarter of all mammal species. There are 45 different
species of bats that live in the United States and Canada. Most
bat species live in the tropical regions of the world.
Mega-Bats are large bats found in the “old-world” tropical
rainforests (Australia, Asia, and Africa). These bats are
also called flying foxes. They have large eyes, small ears,
large
bodies, and have a dog-like face. They either eat fruit or
drink nectar
from flowers.
Micro-Bats are small bats found all over the world. They have large
ears, small eyes, small bodies, and use echolocation, or radar,
to find their food. They eat a wide range of food.
Most bats are colonial. They often live in dead trees, caves, bat
houses, human buildings, rock crevices, and the underside of bridges.
Some bats are solitary, mainly living in live trees.
The biggest bat in the world is the Malayan flying fox found in
Asia. It weighs about 2 pounds and has a wingspan of about 6 feet.
This bat eats only fruit.
The smallest bat in the world is the Kitty’s hog-nosed bat
(also called the bumblebee bat). It is found in Thailand and weighs
about 2 grams (that’s how much a dime weighs). It has
a 6-inch wingspan.
Most bats in the North America eat insects. As a matter of fact,
one bat eats about 2,000 to 6,000 insects each night. Many of the
insects they eat include agricultural crop pests including the
tomato horned worm, corn earworm, and many kinds of beetles. Bats
also eat annoying insects like flies, mosquitoes, and gnats.
Bats that drink nectar are important pollinators of the organ pipe
cactus and saguaro cactus in the United States. They are also pollinators
of cash crops including mango, cashew, balsa, agave, and bananas.
Fruit bats around the world are important seed dispersers
in the tropical rainforest. They are considered a “keystone species,” meaning
that without them, many other plants and animals in the same
ecosystem would be adversely affected.
Bats eat a wide variety of food, including insects, fruit, nectar,
fish, frogs, rodents, lizards, birds, and blood.
There are three species of vampire bats. They live in southern
Mexico, Central America, and South America. Vampires are
small bats that drink blood from cows, goats, pigs, and chickens.
They have an anticoagulant in their saliva that keeps the
blood
flowing
as long as they are licking. Vampires are small bats that
usually drink a tablespoon’s worth of blood per feeding.
Vampires are very social animals and even have been known
to feed sick
or elderly bats.
Some species of bats have been detected flying over 50 miles per
hour. Other species have been detected flying over 3,000 feet above
ground in search of insect prey.
Bats usually have one baby once a year. Some bats commonly have
twins. A few bats have been know to have 3, 4, 5 babies at one
time. Tropical fruit bats usually have 1 baby twice a year. Bat
babies typically weigh about 25% of an adult at birth.
The oldest bat fossil (found in Wyoming, USA) is estimated to be
52 million years old.
Bats live a very long time. Most bats live between 10 and 20 years.
Some bats typically live to 30 years old. The oldest known bat
was recently recaptured in Europe at 41 years old.
When winter comes, some bats migrate to warmer climates.
Other bats find a cave or mine to spend the winter. Hibernation
allows
them to avoid freezing temperatures. During hibernation,
a bat’s
heart pumps about 11 beats a minute. In contrast, when bats
are awake and flying, their heart pumps over 1,000 beats
a minute.
Bats form the largest groups of mammals in the world. Bracken Cave
(Texas) houses a colony of about 25 million Mexican free-tailed
bats. Congress Avenue bridge (Austin, Texas) accommodates the largest
congregation of bats in an urban setting: almost 1 million bats.
Bats cannot stand upright due to a very small pelvic girdle. They
hang upside down nearly all the time. Blood does not rush to their
head because they do not weight enough for gravity to effect their
circulation.
About half of all the bat species in the world are either threatened
or endangered. This is due primarily to habitat destruction, pollution,
and human persecution. Some bat species are illegally hunted and
sold for meat in Africa and Asia.
Bat houses can give bats a much needed home. Many bats live in
human buildings because their natural habitat is no longer available.
Bat houses should be mounted at least 12 to 15 feet off the ground,
and facing an open, sunny location. They work best if placed on
a pole, side of building, or tall mature tree with a lot of trunk
space.
Very few bats contract rabies. Over the last 50 years, less than
40 people have gotten rabies from a wild bat. Scientific studies
have shown that less than 1% of wild bats test positive for rabies.
Nation-wide, about 5% of bats sent to state laboratories test positive
for rabies. This number is higher because sick individuals are
more likely to be caught and turned in for testing. Most colonies
from buildings contain no rabid individuals. If people come in
contact with a bat, they should contact their family physician
or health department for advice regarding testing and treatment.
Pets should be vaccinated against rabies to ensure their safety
from wild mammals.
