Description: Often more recognizable by its ring-tail, blackish mask(which makes it looked more of a bandit at night.), and dexterous paws, which the name "arathkone," or "aroughcun" means "the one who rubs, scrubs, and scratches with its hands," in a Powhatan language. Who might happened to be the largest living procyonid that's native to North and Central Americas, the raccoon was among the most intelligent carnivorans, along with spotted hyenas, tigers, black bears, and one of your smartest breed of domestic dog you have(for example, the Border Collie.). In mid-20th century, the raccoons are introduced in Germany, Japan, and even Caucasia(which this place happened to be the northern part of the Middle East). We do know why raccoons lived in Japan as introduced animals, because of the succession of this anime, Rascal the Raccoon, since 1977. We do also see raccoons in other anime and TV series, besides Rascal the Raccoon, like Bobby Raccoon(from the Fables of the Green Forest), RJ(from Over the Hedge, and its DreamWorks film adaptation), Rigby and his big but younger brother Don(from Cartoon Network's Regular Show), Meeko(from Disney's Pocahontas), Rocket Raccoon(from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy), etc., along with the games like Wildlife Park(similar inspirations of Zoo Tycoon), Sims 3 Pets(which featured raccoons as animals you can't control, but sims can within his/her help, carefully), Viva Piñata(such piñata whose mixed between a macaroon and the raccoon, called Macaracoons, and their sour counterparts), Sly Cooper and his relatives(from the series of Sly Cooper), etc. We thought raccoons are extremely solitary, but some raccoons forage in groups, and the positions against foreign males during mating season, and intruders. Mother raccoons can take good care of their babies, which baby raccoons are called "kits," "cubs," or "pups." When they are sick from deadly diseases, you and your pets will have to stay away, or call the animal control officers from these dreaded little pests. Mothers can protect their kits from danger. Predators of the raccoons, are bobcats, coyotes, owls, jaguars, wolves, black bears, eagles, fisher martens, and alligators, for example.
