Raccoon
A stout animal with short legs, a pointed muzzle, and small erect ears,
the North American raccoon is 75 to 90 cm (30 to 36 inches) long,
including the 25-cm (10-inch) tail. Weight is usually about 10 kg (22
pounds) or less, although large males may grow to more than 20 kg. Those
living in northern regions are larger than their southern counterparts.
The North American raccoon’s fur is shaggy and coarse, and its colour
is iron-gray to blackish with brown overtones. Southern raccoons are
typically more silver, with northern “coons” tending toward blond or
brown..
