RACCOON
He can't resist bright metals which trappers use to bait their traps. He has another feminine trait he is very fastidious about his diet. Whenever water is available he washes his food before eating. Afterwards he washes his face and hands before going about his business. The raccoon is a water loving fellow and is content to live on the fish and vegetation of the swamp land.
The northern and central raccoon has the southern one humbled when it comes to beauty. Fully Furred, with a distinctly darker stripe, these are the skins from which the finest coats are made.
The proper coat has the stripes beautifully matched and the skins are undyed. The Fur is one of the toughest and more durable of all pelts.
