The name raccoon is the name that came from the Indian word and it means something that scratches. The Cincinnati raccoons are known to wash the foods in the water and they are recognized by the black mask and the ringed tail. They are curious but at the same time intelligent. They live in the hollow trees, in the rock ledges or under the cavities. They like to forge in the night.



The Cincinnati raccoons are found in many places and they can live in urban, rural or woodlands. They are also abundant where there is agricultural area. The raccoons are most of the time omnivores and the half of the diet comes from the plant matter. They do eat the snails, eggs, birds, mice, mussels, crayfish, frogs, fish, insects, grains, nuts, berries and other fruits.

It is easy to recognize track patterns left by the Ohio raccoons by taking into consideration its front or rear foot side by the side and this helps in making the identification. They do have five digits on both the rear and front. The rear foot is longer compared to the front but this will not register always. However, identifying the Cincinnati animal is normally easy since it has bulbous fingers. The front tracks have the same look as the rays from the sun with the long digit that appear in the equal length. The rear tracks are more like the human hands because they have a small thumb which is the set back of the base at the side of a track next to its body. The track does show an entire heel pad or the front portion alone. You have to decide on the left and the right based on the placement in the pattern.

The capacity of identifying the Cincinnati animal tracks is normally important to the wildlife tracker. Normally, the tracking skills were meant to help people to find the food, to avoid the dangerous predators and to read the stories about a landscape. The tracking continues to be important for the outdoor education, conservation and wildlife research. When people are able to identify the tracks, they can open up a new world for them. When it comes to talk about wild Ohio animals, we all feel scared of having them at our doorstep even. There is no question of getting them entered in homes. Nobody likes to keep the dangerous animals in homes as pets. To get rid of the animals, we can adopt many ways. The way we adopt depends on the Ohio animal we found in our home unluckily.
