Yes, I agree, I would consider racoons here as urban biodiversity for sure!

Apple, I have pictures of this species rummaging through dumpsters like raccoons. That would definitely be urban biodiversity!

I see these guys all the time. They are a cool gang. They turn more Head's than Marilyn Monroe!

You should add them to the Urban Biodiversity mission if they live so close to people. I am fascinated by Costa Rica and its wildlife. A visit there is on my bucket list for sure!

They really are gregarious creatures. These in particular live in a resort development and are accomstumed to people. They are brazen like raccoons.
