The raccoon or wild cat<\/strong> has a beautiful face; which causes many people to want to feed him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the regions and suburbs, it is too often found in our garbage cans eating leftovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one of the protected species in Quebec, you are forbidden to do any harm to it. You only have the right to capture it and move it<\/strong> to its natural environment. You will only achieve this with the help of a professional who specializes in the capture of wild animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The raccoon or wild cat is identifiable by its tail ringed with white and black. His face is wearing some kind of black mask. It is a robust medium-sized animal. It measures between 0.65 and 0.96 meters in length and weighs between 6.5 and 16 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The male is usually larger than the female.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its delicate little, extremely sensitive hands are very adept at handling small objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its short legs with narrow feet, it climbs easily in trees and on the structures of houses. He is a good swimmer; and even if he seems to be a clumsy walker, he can sting speeds of 25 km\/h.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
