Clever and curious, the raccoon is a small mammal native to North America. It is recognizable by its black mask around its eyes and its ringed tail, which give it a unique appearance.
Omnivorous and opportunistic, it feeds on fruits, nuts, insects, and small animals, and does not hesitate to scavenge in villages in search of food. Surprisingly, its name comes from its habit of soaking its food in water before eating it, a behavior that intrigues researchers. Very skillful, it uses its front legs almost like hands, capable of opening shells, manipulating objects, or climbing with agility.
This Papo figurine faithfully reproduces the raccoon: two-tone fur, ringed tail and realistic posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent stories in the forest or to educate children about the richness of North American wildlife.
