Wish your dear grandson a Happy Birthday with an adorable raccoon, Sugar Bear wearing a cute fishing hat, holding a line of fish sitting in a cute frame with a bait and tackle sign with lures. The background is grayish blue with a blue balloon and brown text. FYI: wedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus originally classified the raccoon as a relative of the bear in 1740. He named it Ursus cauda elongata and later Ursus lotor, which roughly translates to “long-tailed bear” and “washer bear,” respectively. In 1780, a German naturalist named Gottlieb Conrad Christian Storr came along and corrected Linnaeus’ error, creating a new genus for the raccoon, which is still used today.
