| 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:Elephant shrews live throughout Africa and are also called “jumping shrews” because they have long back legs and can hop like a rabbit. The nose of this small mammal resembles the elephant’s trunk. |
