Romes’ Wildlife Haven
A small corner of Paradise
Raccoons (Scientific name: Procyon lotor) Raccoons are highly intelligent mammals of our forests, swamps, marshes, farms, parks and even urban areas. Their name comes from the Algonquian Indian word arakun, which means “scratches with his hand.” The species name, lotor, is the Latin word for “washer” and refers to the raccoon’s habit of washing food with its front paws. Raccoons are Wisconsin’s only ring-tailed mammal with a black face mask–distinctive characteristics that place these night-roamers on the list of most widely-recognized animals in our state, along with the white-tailed deer, black bear and bald eagle.
