North American Raccoon
We have two
raccoon at GarLyn Zoo. Raymond and Rita.
Raymond is 11 years old this year
2007 and Rita is 9. Raymond was purchased from a breeder when he was
8 weeks old and Rita was a rescue. Both raccoon get along good together
but have never had young ones. This is o.k. we don't really need more
raccoons. The population is doing just fine on it's own.
This is Raymond above at 10 years old.
Raccoons don't generally make a very good pet. They usually turn mean after
a few years. Raymond is at times a little feisty but Rita has remained a
good temperament all these years, It may be the
difference between a
male and a female raccoon .
