It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave.
Some others I’ve noticed on the east coast of the US are blue jays and cardinals. Boy, do people get excited about those if they’ve never seen them before! Very pretty birds of course, just very easy to get used to and see as uninteresting as well.
Raccoons are a national treasure and should be recognized as such.

Them and opossums. They’re our special scavengers
I prefer skunks. Cute, practically harmless, and watching people absolutely flip out when they get spooked by one is a favorite past-time of mine.
I do love our opossums but they are technically an invasive species in a lot of their current range. But they coexist so well with people that it’s hard to mind.
