Raccoons are not rodents.
Raccoons are nocturnal mammals in the genus Procyon of the Procyonidae family. Raccoons are unusual for their thumbs, which (though not opposable) enable them to open many closed containers (such as garbage cans) and doors. They are intelligent omnivores with a reputation for being clever and mischievous.

No raccoons are not rodents, but they can be almost as pesky. I have a lot of them around our country home.

Nope just your run of the mill mammal. And after thinking about this for a few minute aren't they suppose to be SO smart. They have the thumb thing working and the creative mind. Why can't they cross a simple country road?
