Guadeloupe raccoon on map

A very minor detail, but on the map Guadeloupe is marked red, meaning the racoon is native there. However on page for the Guadeloupe raccoon it says: " ... the Guadeloupe raccoon was introduced by humans just a few centuries ago. ". Shouldn't Guadeloupe then be blue on the map?

Raccoon Diet

Raccoons eat vegetables and fruits and cherries!

raccoon <-> corona

Considering their masked faces it is a funny coincidence that raccoon is an anagram to corona. Shouldn't that be noted in the article? 46.114.37.218 (talk) 15:17, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This sort of trivia isn't very relevant to this article. Wikipedia used to have a list of anagrams, but it has already been deleted. Jarble (talk) 13:33, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
