Dancing raccoon

The raccoon, or American raccoon, is a predatory mammal of the raccoon genus of the raccoon family. One of the few species that thrive in conditions of increased anthropogenic impact, expressed in the gradual cultivation of lands. The raccoon takes root well in the places of introduction, although it is generally a heat-loving species. On the territory of Russia, the species has well mastered the western (Black Sea) and eastern (Caspian) regions of the North Caucasus, where it has become a dangerous invasive species that threatens the local flora and fauna. In Belarus, it took root well in Polesie. The raccoon is easily tamed and suitable for captive breeding.
