Raccoons have thin movable fingers and a good sense of touch.
Known commonly for their nighttime activities of garbage can raids, they easily can learn to turn knobs, open latches, and explore with their hands in an attempt to obtain food or further explore their environment. Raccoons are excellent climbers, which is aided by a hind foot that can rotate 45 degrees if needed. Raccoons have adapted well to a changing world and seem to easily live side by side with humans. A common carrier of the rabies virus, contact with wild raccoons should not be encouraged by leaving food out for them or teaching them to eat from a bowl. They tend to return over and over to locations where food is obtainable.
