Say Happy Valentine's Day to a wonderful niece and her husband with an adorable raccoon in a red heart holding red hearts on a cute white background with a red and white heart design and red text. Fun facts: Raccoons have remarkably sensitive hands, with five long, tapered fingers and long nails. They lack thumbs, so can’t grasp objects with one hand the way we can, but they use both forepaws together to lift and then acutely manipulate objects. hey evolved around river and lake banks in South America where they had to use their forepaws to find food hidden under water or buried in mud and silt. The fingers of a raccoons forepaws are well-padded. Each has some four to five times more mechanoreceptor cells
