Raccoons can recognize objects just by touching them, even underwater or in complete darkness.

Scientists think that their black masks help to reduce glare, so they can see better at night.

Raccoons are skilled problem-solvers who can figure out latches, lids and simple locks, and they remember the trick years later.

If a raccoon can fit its head through a gap, the rest of it usually follows. That's how they end up in attics and chimneys.

Raccoons thrive in the dark—much like your soul. They do their best exploring, foraging, and general mischief-making come nightfall.

Raccoons like to dunk their food in water. They aren't really washing it; the water heightens the sensitivity of their front paws, helping them better check what they're about to eat.
