Crab-eating Raccoon giant foot - Epe zoo

As you can see, a Crab-eating Raccoon is significantly different from a normal raccoon. It has shorter fur to deal with hot climates, it is far more shy, but notably it has large feet and hands that it uses to touch and investigate potential food.

Fantastic! I was reading about raccoons recently and it is quite incredible the heightened senses they have in their front paws/feet(?). People think that they are constantly washing their hands but like this one, they always like to handle their food in water. Brilliant photos and a lovely new species! Posted 11 years ago
