Description | Description:Raccoons are bear-like mammals that were once exclusively found in North America but now live in Japan and Europe as well. They have what appears to be a black mask surrounding their eyes. Their front paws are so dexterous that they can turn door knobs, untie knots, and open jars. | Description:The Egyptian Mongoose lives in hollow logs, burrows, and holes in the ground which are near a water source. They have grey fur with brown dots. They have a low, long body which can be mistaken for a reptile at a distance. |
