Raccoons are found mainly in Europe and North America and prefer to inhabit wooded areas near rivers, lakes or ponds. They rest mostly in trees during the day and come out at night.

Their best feature is the black area around their eyes, which contrasts with the white face color around them. This, coupled with the fact that they often come out after twelve o'clock at night, is why they are known as thieves in Canada!

Raccoons love to hunt for fish in rivers and after catching them they like to clean them in the water. Why do raccoons love cleaning so much? But it's actually because raccoons have poor eyesight and rely mainly on their paw touch to judge their food.

Miraculously, raccoons' hands become more sensitive when they come in contact with water, and this will help them identify food more easily. So when a raccoon is washing something by the river, it's not actually cleaning, it's recognizing if the food is edible or not.

Mystery thief is it, and swimmer is it. Do you like such a raccoon? Let's follow the step by step instructions and try to learn how to draw a cute raccoon.
