Raccoons Unmasked!

Posted on November 19, 2021 Leave a Comment


Did you know that Washington, DC’s Rock Creek Park holds the record for densest population of urban raccoons ever documented? And nearly everyone in the area has seen these evening explorers with their bandit masks and ringed tails. What are they up to? And how do they manage to thrive in our built-up environment? PhD biologist John Hadidian, who conducted a breakthrough study of these urban “adaptors” in Washington, has the answers.

Join him for a free, hour-long, exclusive City Wildlife webinar on Wednesday, December 1, at 7:00 p.m. Click here to register, and join us to become a raccoon expert yourself!
