Raccoon Haven
Since Toronto has earned the title raccoon capital of the world (after a global crowning in the 2011 CBC program Raccoon Nation), Durham residents must be prepared to deal with these animals. The title has been well earned since Toronto’s raccoons tend to be larger than others around the world and the region has a flourishing raccoon community (enabled by the abundance of food and shelter options in the area) that exceeds that of other regions as well.
