Raccoon's


Raccoon



Raccoons are mammals of the Americas. They can be found in cities as well as in the countryside. There are seven species, or types, of raccoon. The most common is the North American raccoon.
The North American raccoon can be found in Canada, the United States, and South America. It prefers wooded areas near water, but it will live in other areas, including large cities.
Most raccoons live in the wild. Being around humans does not bother them. They often nest in empty buildings, garages, sheds, and even the attics of houses. Raccoons do not hibernate in the winter. Those that live farther north, where it is colder, grow thick coats to keep them warm and spend long periods sleeping. Raccoons in captivity can live up to 20 years. In the wild, they usually live only 1-3 years.
Although raccoons only live 2-3 years in the wild, a raccoon can live up to 20 years in captivity.
They can swim and climb well and use their front paws to reach into stream or feel for food. Raccoon are also known to rub their food clean or rinse it before eating. Even though they usually live alone, raccoon may gather in group at plentiful food source, such as rubbish dumps.
Raccoons communicate with each other using over 200 different sounds and 12-15 different calls.
In just the same manner that raccoons can be valuable, they can also be destructive. Raccoons are capable of eating birds, smaller animals and insects. If you are a person who loves nature and probably likes attracting animals like small birds around the house, having raccoons will be counterproductive. Raccoons can very easily catch and eat small birds as they have well-developed limbs that help them manipulate objects. Raccoons do not generally eat larger animals like cats and dogs, but they can definitely harm or kill them if involved in a fight.
Raccoons can be extremely destructive due to their curiosity, intelligence, dexterity and climbing skills.
Here are some signs to help identify a raccoon problem:
  • tipped trash cans
  • raided bird feeders
  • pilfered gardens
  • damaged crops (ex. chewed sweet corn, hollowed out watermelons)
  • uncapped chimneys
  • torn shingles
  • raccoon tracks: five long toes and fingers resembling human hands

     Tuan Dirga! What is Tuan Dirga means? Tuan Dirga is an abbreviation from Tujuh Puluh Dua Tahun Dirgahayu Indonesia!.      So, Tuan Dirga is an event to celebrate our independence day. This event was held on Saturday too. I would like to share my story about Tuan Dirga because I think it is a very fun experiance.      A few days before Tuan Dirga some of our senior come to our class and publish about Tuan Dirga. They say that this event was held on Saturday at Lapangan Bali and we need to attend there at 7 in the morning.

When I arrived all of my friend already make a line each cla...
