Have you ever walked outside in the morning to find that the trash cans you carefully closed last night were overturned? Raccoons in search of a midnight snack may have visited you. These opportunistic eaters have dexterous hands and long fingers, which are perfect for grabbing their next meal. This volume explores the lives of these clever mammals, which have adapted to life almost anywhere. Color photographs and fun fact boxes provide insights into one of North America's most common nocturnal rascals.
