I Love Raccoons
🐾They Have Tiny Hands👐
Names for the species include the common raccoon, North American raccoon
and northern raccoon, The word "raccoon" was adopted
into English from the native Powhatan term meaning
"animal that scratches with its hands", as used in the Colony
of Virginia.
Its Latin name means "before-dog washer". It was recorded on
John Smith's list of Powhatan words as aroughcun, and on that of William
Strachey as arathkone. It has also been identified as a reflex of a
Proto-Algonquian root ahrah-koon-em, meaning
"[the] one who rubs, scrubs and scratches with its hands". The
word is sometimes spelled as racoon.
