These omnivores are called lotor in latin, meaning the washer, as the Raccoon unlike other creatures washes its food which varies from nuts, fruit and berries to small mammels before eating. In some areas corn is its favourite meal, but is a pest to farmers, Damaging more than it can eat. During the day or in bad weather like a storm, the Raccoon sleeps in its den which might be a hollow tree or hole or something of that description. Emerging at dusk forging for food it is unknown for a raccoon to takeover a crow or magpie nest. 3.9-4.8 metres above ground.
