Raccoon is my spirit animal. Dark circles around eyes. Stays up all night. Eats junk food. Cute. Chubby. Can be naughty.... and this little guy is about ready to start a snowball fight! The infamous masked bandit is known for its cleverness, its mischievous personality and, yes, the black mask around its eyes. The cute creatures are native to North America and are a common sight in our region. Though they are most active at night, it is not unusual for homeowners to spot them in the evening or early morning hours foraging for food. Many times, they are caught in the act of garbage thievery as they rummage through bins for anything edible. Their most distinctive feature and their reputation for digging through the garbage have earned them the nickname “masked bandit”.
