This is part of my Inspired by Nature series that will be placed in and around Port Townsend. As with all things in nature, these caches can be quite delicate so please take caution when handling them and replacing them-they will be grateful. This might be a fun series for families.
Rocky is hiding out in his room. Your GPS will get you close to his hideout. Safest parking is at the County Campgrounds or the Tri-Area Senior Center and a short walk to the trail.
About Me:
I am a raccoon: a small, furred animal found in the Western Hemisphere from southern Canada to Paraguay. A raccoon can be recognized by its ringed tail and the black "mask" on its fox-like face. The playful, cunning common raccoon of North America figures in many of the folk tales of the southern United States. It shows little fear of humans.
It may be from 25 to 35 inches (64 to 89 cm) long and weigh more than 40 pounds (18 kg). Its fur has long, coarse, black-tipped guard hairs, ranging from light to dark gray.
Common raccoons live in hollow trees or rocky dens, often near water. In colder areas they live in burrows. Raccoons usually come out only at night to look for food. They are often a pest to farmers and gardeners because they eat poultry, grain, and fruit; but they often help the farmer by ridding the farm of rats and mice. They also feed on fish, shellfish, crayfish, frogs, turtles, and salamanders. Before eating they often hold the food in their long-fingered paws and dip it into the water several times. Raccoons are excellent swimmers.
Adult raccoons can be ferocious when they are cornered. They have sharp teeth, which they use to defend themselves. They are quite capable of putting up a good fight. And their thick fur helps protect them against bites and other types of attacks.
It was a FTS party! Congrats go to hawknomore, Pirates of the Yukon, Crazyredhead and Tatto Freak for being on the scene first
