Скачать или смотреть Crab-eating Raccoon at Night | Procyon cancrivorus in Loros Wildlife Sanctuary

This nighttime footage from Loros Wildlife Sanctuary reveals a Crab-eating Raccoon (Procyon cancrivorus), a secretive yet highly adaptable mammal of Latin America’s tropical and subtropical forests.

Despite the name, this raccoon’s diet goes far beyond crabs — it is an opportunistic omnivore, feeding on fruits, amphibians, insects, fish, and even bird eggs. Its presence in the tropical dry forest signals healthy biodiversity and the availability of diverse food sources, even in the dry season.

🧠 Fun Fact:
Unlike its North American cousin, this species is more tied to wetlands, rivers, and moist habitats — but in ecosystems like Cerro El Peligro, it also explores rocky outcrops, fruiting trees, and creeks and seasonal water pools.

Footage like this shows how quiet and curious creatures move through the forest unseen — and how camera traps help us document the life that unfolds after dark.
