Raccoons are a ubiquitous and easily-seen wildlife neighbor. Characterized as vicious, greedy, mischievous, smart or adorable, depending on who you talk to, raccoons occupy a prominent place in urban wildlife lore. But what are they really like? Raccoons have some amazing physical traits and behaviors that aren't commonly known. Come hear Megan Isadore, a naturalist and wildlife rehabilitator with Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue tell stories, show slides and answer questions about our masked wildlife neighbors.
