Raccoons, rats, and red pandas – these furry creatures all start with the letter ‘R’! The raccoon is a small mammal known for its distinctive dark mask and mischievous nature.
They have sharp claws which helps them climb trees and they can often be caught scavenging through trash cans in search of human food. Although quirky, they can still bring character to an outdoor area.
Rats are another species that begins with ‘R’, famed for their intelligence and ability to make great pets given enough training. Plus, their natural curiosity makes teaching them fun too!
Finally, we have the red panda – an Asian species that looks like a cross between a fox, cat and ball of fur! They primarily feed on bamboo shoots and use their long tails as a balance when scaling trees.
