No, definitely not! wolverines are much less common, they're bigger and more dangerous too

They are hunted for their fur primarily but some people hunt them for their meat also.

In a word, YES. Raccoons are much more formidable predators than most realize. But, they're lazy. I put out a cup of high quality dog food (30+ years training K9s and War Dogs) and fresh water at twilight and they prefer that to killing and eating our barn cats.

There is no such thing as a poisonous snake. There are, however, venomous snakes and a raccoon will eat them. A poison is something which must be ingested to kill. A venom must be injected to kill.

Raccoons are lone animals, so they are harder to track by predators. When they are confronted by a predator, they run and hide if they are able to.

No. Raccoons are placental mammals. The only egg-laying mammals, or monotremes, are platypuses and echidnas.

Raccoons do not migrate but they forage for food all year long unless the snow prevents then from hunting in winter. In that case, they remain in their dens and sleep until conditions improve. They do not hibernate, however.

Raccoons are found everywhere in Texas, including in the Chihuahuan Desert.

i think alligators

foxes wolves and owls eat raccoons

They normally care for their pups by nursing them till they are old enough to eat meat for food. they also care for them by protecting them against other dominant males and females in the area who would kill cubs. after 2 yrs of life they are turned out into the world to fend for themselves and to find a pack

Yes, raccoons are quite fond of corn, especially in the milk stage when it is tender, sweet and juicy. A group of raccoons can do considerable damage to a field of corn, especially sweet corn.

Far more raccoons die of being struck by a motor vehicle or by being shot by hunters than die of natural causes such as disease and predation. Now and then there is an outbreak in certain areas of a disease, such as distemper, that may kill off a large part of the raccoon population.

No, a raccoon has the same senses as most animals - sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. However, some of the raccoon's senses are enhanced. Their hearing is quite acute and they can hear earthworms and grubs digging underground. They, also, have very good sense of smell and touch.

Raccoons are found across much of southern Canada but not in Newfoundland.

water there water must be changed daily because they often urinate in it,food ( dog food,cat food,whole corn,fish,crawfish,egg yolks), a good shelter that is warm in the winter but yet cool in the summer,water proof, snow proof etc. pretty much the basics of any other pet.

Scientists have determined that raccoons have a vocabulary of over 51 various vocalizations, including a "whoop-whoop" like sound, whistle, snarl, growl & grunt, hisses, scream and whinny. Baby raccoons make purring, chittering, cooing or crying sounds of varying intensity depending on their level of stress or contentment. When startled or frightened adults may let out a bark not unlike that of a dog.

Raccoons are sometimes preyed upon by wolves, coyotes, jaguars, cougars, and bobcats. Young raccoons are sometimes taken by owls and foxes and other smaller predators. In some areas alligators, caimans, crocodiles and large constrictor snakes will also prey on raccoons.

The male raccoon is slightly larger than the female.

Make sure trash bins are secured and you are not leaving any pet food outside. If you remove any possible food source for raccoons they will go elsewhere. If that doesn't work, call your local Animal Control office for recommendations.

It's a canid, so it's part of the dog family.

It's part of the same family with wolves, foxes, coyotes, jackals, and domestic dogs.

Also, it's called "raccoon dog" because of it's resemblance to the raccoon, which it's not even related to.

But, in ancient times of Japan, they confused this animal with the badger.

Yes, raccoons will eat most any egg. They are especially fond of turtle eggs.

I have the same problem. I tried sprinkling large amounts of chili powder around my whole property since I read about this method, but it has not worked. Now I am going to try putting out rags soaked in ammonia around the property, that is supposed to bother them. Good luck!

the same reason footballers wives are- they're dumb
