While one rescue raccoon won the hearts of many as the latest Cadbury Easter Bunny, it's safe to say that holiday chocolates are not part of a raccoon's typical diet in the wild. From insects and other similarly-sized animals found in nature to plant materials easily scavenged in the wild, a raccoon's diet is a fascinating one to behold.Raccoons have a reputation, perhaps unfairly, as being trash bandits due to their proclivity for foraging and a bandit-like "mask" that adorns their eyes.
