Crab-eating Raccoon – South America

Crab-eating raccoons, also known as South American raccoons, are found in Central and South America. These creatures are medium-sized and have distinctive dark masks around their eyes. As their name suggests, they feed on crabs and eat other small aquatic animals, fruits, and insects.

They have been known to use tools like stones to crack open crab shells. While some people may find these raccoons fascinating and consider keeping them as pets, it is important to note that they are not domesticated animals and can be challenging to care for. In many countries, keeping crab-eating raccoons as pets is also illegal.
