Raccoon

Procyon Lotor
The raccoon is adept at coexisting with human development, often living in close vicinity to peoples' houses and yards across North America.
Other than during the short mating season, males and females do not associate with each other.
Although few raccoons make it to their second year, they have been recorded to live up to 15 years in the wild.
The diet of a raccoon is diverse including nuts, seeds, berries, insects, frogs, crayfish, bird eggs, fish, and even rodents.
