== 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?

== Raccoons are Nocturnal ==

The photos are biased to day time. How about a few night time shots:

== Learning Speed ≠ Speed Learning ==

In the Intelligence section, raccoons' 'learning speed' is discussed but those words are linked to an article on 'Speed Learning' which is not really relevant and does not have the same meaning as its use in the raccoons article. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Benchmark99|Benchmark99]] ([[User talk:Benchmark99#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Benchmark99|contribs]]) 02:35, 23 June 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Hungarian etymology ==

Hi, just wanted to add in the etymology section that the Hungarian word for raccoon is mosómedve, also “washing-bear”. [[User:Jorgeantoniosuarez|Jorgeantoniosuarez]] ([[User talk:Jorgeantoniosuarez|talk]]) 02:33, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
