These somewhat spherical racoons have obviously found the suburban El Dorado equivalent. Their remarkable width relates stories of effective nighttime raids on what must be the most supplied neighbourhood in town. Wearing their well-fed position like badges of honour, these clever animals have become the unquestionable rulers of their metropolitan area. The fact that the cold seems to bounce right off their large frames suggests that their effective feeding techniques have produced great insulating value. Their bold attitude and striking dimensions set them alone even among their usually strong species and show that occasionally success may be judged in circumference.
