Did you know raccoons have specialized whiskers called vibrissae near the tip of their paws that help them analyze their world by touch? Plus, they have amazing dexterity, allowing them to open doors, jars and even latches! 🦝🔓 Visit us at saskatoon.ca/zoo to learn more

🐾 Happy Raccoon Awareness Day! 🦝 Today we’re hanging out with Frankie while he enjoys some yummy produce! ✨ Did you know? Keeping trash cans secure helps wild raccoons stay safe. Feeding raccoons can make them sick and create problems for people and wildlife. It’s best to admire raccoons from a distance so they can thrive in the wild. By learning how to coexist safely, we can all help improve the lives of our raccoon friends. | Zoo Knoxville
