Is the raccoon a carnivore an omnivore or a herbivore?

A raccoon is an Omnivore, it eats meat and other plants. Actually, a raccoon will eat almost anything. They usually wash it off first though.Raccoons (erroneously called "Wash Bears" in German) have very poor eyesight. It is a misconception that they wash their food before eating it; they merely finger or manipulate it giving us the impression that they are, indeed, washing it.Some anecdotal information: We had several raccoons in our backyard in southern Virginia who visited us nightly to get their snicky-snacks: toast points, marshmallows and lots of roasted-in-the-shell, unsalted peanuts and a handful of dry cat food. My husband would prepare an attractive tray for them -- they were just so droll -- we couldn't resist them.Besides, we were living in an area that, like so many others all over the country, had been cleared and forced out all wildlife. We simply tried to compensate them a little for the loss of their previously peaceful habitat.We had a little foot-high bird bath on our deck where they washed themselves, drank from and, unfortunately, also utilized as a toilet occasionally.
