What Do Raccoons Eat?
The raccoon is usually nocturnal and omnivorous, eating
invertebrates, plants, and vertebrates. Raccoons usually
eat insects, worms although it prefers fruits and nuts,
such as acorns and walnuts. Raccoons eat active or large
prey such as birds and mammals only occasionally, since
they prefer prey that is easier to catch, like fish
and amphibians. The contents of bird nests are frequently
consumed.
