About National Geographic:
National Geographic is the world’s premium destination for science, exploration, and adventure. Through their world-class scientists, photographers, journalists, and filmmakers, Nat Geo gets you closer to the stories that matter and past the edge of what’s possible.
John Hadidian, wildlife scientist at the Humane Society and a National Geographic grantee, explains that raccoons’ intelligence, omnivorous diet, and manual dexterity make them masters of adaptation. These clever creatures even use our sewer systems as their own commuter highways. So the next time you see one of these little guys digging in your trash or climbing on your roof, take a moment to appreciate its street smarts.
