Well, raccoons are not rodents; I believe they are related to bears, but I get what you’re getting at.

Yes, and Cyril Sneer, an aardvark in the Canadian cartoon series The Raccoons also incorrectly called them rodents.

Related to bears: you know the whole thing about them washing their food? I think the German word for raccoon, waschbar,
would translate to “washing bear” (and I think the French
word would translate to “washing rat”)

Tenn.’s official animal is the raccoon; the Tenn. Titans
mascot is T-Rac, a raccoon etc.
