Saw a adolescent raccoon and opposum this morning in the parking lot behind a vehicle together. Thought they were kittens until I pulled up to the car. Both scurried under the vehicle and "hid".

Pawpaws (also spelled paw paw, paw-paw, and papaw) grow from a tree and taste like a banana and a mango mixed. My dad found some in Illinois. I lived in southern Illinois on a farm and the fruit was growing wide. They're really good. :)
It can grow in southern Illinois, as well as the Pacific Northwest, California, and other parts of North America. It is the same fruit from the song "picking up Pawpaws row by row."
It looks very much like a short, round banana, but has a large spine of seeds. The seed is thin and round... about half an inch to an inch long by one eighth inch thick and spaced about a quarter of an inch apart or perhaps more. The last one I had was in the early fifties and later I left the area and have had none since.

I am not sure why this is, just that it happens.
