Raccoon!


Don't be deceived by the festive stripey tail, the cute mask or the especially dexterous front paws. This little monster would just as soon rip your face off as look at it--and then spread your garbage all over the yard. Raccoons are omnivorous and nocturnal. That means they'll eat anything and they'll do it under the cover of darkness. Twenty seven percent of the raccoon's diet is made up of vertebrates. You're a vertebrate, right?
