People find them cute (which i understand), the reality is they cause a lot of damage whilst unhealthy situations which also make them a serious nuisance, one difficult to get rid of.

And AfD doesn’t say anything about racoons?!

Good luck Germany, you’re going to need it. Those little fuckers get into everything. If you really want to have fun, import a few Canadian Geese and you’ll be set.

Good, I’m glad.
Now we need to talk about the human invasion on this planet.
Fucking jerks!

Are tot also plotting data pre 1990? I think population of raccoons where already documented in the mid 70s.

Look how they emerged out of the nothingness in northern Brandenburg🫣 They must’ve come from space.🦝👽

Based on the map, I assume they have ‘invaded’ Poland as well?

So it probably won’t take long before they are going to show up in the Netherlands?

I do like those invasions, but could they have repercussions for the environment?

That was a real shit show. My uncle worked as a forester for the same communal forestry department that was responsible. In the 1930 the master forester of that department had introduced imported breeding pairs to the local forest because he liked how they looked and thought they could form a basis for a local fur industry. This happened at the Edersee right in the middle of the big blob on the 2000-map. It took a few decades for the local population to reach critical mass before becoming a regional nuisance and finally beginning to spread to the rest of the country. By the time the foresters realised what kind of mess their former boss had created, it was already too late to stop the spread.

How did all of that happen?

These are really really bad for our local fauna. They eat practically everything.

How does ADF feel about this?

Im from the us. We obviously have raccoons. We used to have outdoor cats and we kept the food in a plastic bin outside with a door on it. We noticed that every night the bin was open and after a couple of nights we realized it was raccoons so we put a pad lock on the bin. The next morning the bin was gone. The little bastards couldn’t get into the food so they instead dragged the bin about 250 meters away into a field and towards the woods. They didnt get it to the woods but damn it was a valiant effort and I honestly could believe that something so small could steal and move something that weighed probably 30lbs so far.
You guys are in for a treat when the get super prolific.

I found the bodies of two of them by the roadside in Palatinate. I’ve traveled extensively in the region trying to see one in person, but unfortunately, I haven’t come across one so far.

Y’all never had raccoons before? Thought they were everywhere like mice?
