Here are some fun facts about the Tennessee state mammal the RACCOON!

-In 1971, the Raccoon was adopted as Tennessee’s official wild animal.
-Raccoons living in Tennessee measure 30-38 inches long (including their tails) and weigh 12-25 pounds.
- Nocturnal and generally solitary, raccoons walk like bears and are good swimmers.
-Distinctive in appearance with their masks and striped tail, the raccoon is as comfortable in urban areas as in the deep woods. In the wild raccoons live in caves, tree hollows and ground burrows. In urban areas they are found in attics, chimney flues, culverts under roadways, or wherever they can find a safe, dry and reasonably comfortable niche.
-The raccoon is omnivorous and will eat just about anything including insects, frogs, fish, birds, small mammals and the leftovers discarded in your trash can (which they can be exceedingly clever at extracting)
