Let a little bit of the woodland into your home with this lifelike, life-sized Raccoon puppet. His realistic features will cause double-takes, especially when you animate his head and muzzle. Hand enters from the chest area.
Fun Facts:
?Raccoons are native to North and South America. They live in every habitat from desert to seashore to woodland to city.
?Raccoons are considered carnivores because of their tooth structure, but actually, these night foragers will eat almost anything.
?The name 'raccoon' is from the Algonquian Indian word 'arakun.' It means "he who scratches with his hands."
?Raccoons are almost as clever with their paws (or hands!) as monkeys. They can even twist doorknobs and open refrigerators.
The raccoon arrived on time, but looking like it had been stuffed in a closet somewhere or on the bottom of a dirty clothes pile. The tags were attached, but the raccoon definitely looks "used". A disappointment. The picture showed that it was a ring-tailed raccoon. The one we received had a dirty gray colored tail. It is a puppet, but it should clearly state that the mouth is the only moveable part. It has lifelike front paws, but they just hang limply. It would've been so neat to be able to move the paws as well as the mouth. An overall disappointment.

Folkmanis puppets are always high quality, and this very realistic raccoon is no exception. My 5 year old son was very happy to receive this puppet as a Christmas gift and continues to play with it daily.
