What You Need To Know About The Raccoon
Once recognized as the sole "Automotive Capital of Canada,” Oshawa today is an education and health sciences hub. But don’t let that fool you into thinking there is no green space left in the city. Oshawa's parks and trail system encompasses almost 410 hectares of parkland and more than 27 kilometres of paved trails. The McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve and Second Marsh Wildlife Area offer protected marshland areas with interpretive trails and viewing platforms. Because of this, Oshawa has a diverse ecosystem. From snakes to rabbits, and foxes, the list of wildlife species that call this region home is seemingly endless.
One such species is raccoons and they can be challenging to deal with due to their intelligence, resourcefulness and sheer numbers. Encounters are bound to happen, and when they do, keep in mind that the right way to react would be to get in touch with a professional animal control service provider.
