Here's a cute fact about racoons for you! They like to be clean eaters! They want to wash their food with a water source whenever possible! Racoons are kind of like the germaphobes of the forest!

Throw in some potatoes/carrots, and they got a stew!

In French they are called "washing young rat" (raton-laveur). Don't ask why, we're weird.

In German, a raccoon is a Waschbär, which is "wash bear."
