Discussions will include: behaviors, biology and anatomy using Raccoon skulls and pelts. “Raccoons have very sensitive front paws,” said Sasha. “They use them to identify objects through their highly developed sense of touch.” Weather permitting after the program take a short walk to search for signs of raccoons at the Outdoor Discovery Center.
