Adults weight an average of 25 to\n30 pounds, and grow to a height of 30 to 36 inches. They have black beady eyes,\nlong claws, and dexterous paws. They are excellent climbers that partake in a\ndiet of fruits, berries, small invertebrates, and insects. These raccoons are\nnocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day and stay active at night. For\nshelter, raccoons use hollow trees, dens, attics, and any other small available\nspaces they can find. This is why they can be considered a nuisance in\nresidential and commercial neighborhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
