Raccoon

The raccoon (Procyon lotor), sometimes spelled racoon, also known as the common raccoon, North American raccoon, northern raccoon, and colloquially as coon, is a medium-sized omnivore mammal native to North America

Raccoons are unusual for their thumbs, which enable them to open many closed containers (such as garbage cans) and doors. They are intelligent, with a reputation for being clever and mischievous.
