The Rockin' Raccoon Quiz

That's right! Horace and Rebecca. Other presidents have had a parrot, an alligator, and a goat. Raccoons are highly adaptable to civilization and those in captivity have been known to live up to 12 years. When they aren't living in the White House, North American raccoons can be found mostly in wooded areas, feeding along lakes and streams. They make their homes in cavities in trees, logs, and rocky areas. (They are excellent climbers.)

Also on the menu are large amounts of grains, seeds, acorns, other nuts, and fruits. And, of course, any tasty leftovers in your garbage. (Hold the doggy bag!)

Our masked friends have been known to prey on domestic animals (yikes!), and they often help themselves to our vegetable gardens. But they also destroy harmful insects while they're at it. And it's pretty hard to beat that rabies rap, but raccoons have some neat habits: They frequently wash what they eat!

Nope, they don't hibernate: their metabolism is normal during their sleep and they wake easily. But they sleep a lot during the cold spells. During the rest of the year, these nocturnal critters are quite active -- at night.
