Raccoon Hand Puppet - Hansa Creation

During storytelling, the raccoon hand puppet by Hansa Creation can easily be worked into small scenes. It also suits puppet theatre and simple role playing games. Play often turns into new animal themed stories.

The raccoon’s bushy tail with black and white rings measures about 25 cm in length.

The raccoon (Procyon lotor) originally hails from North America but has spread across Europe as an invasive species. Its name derives from its habit of dipping food in water before eating. Its front paws possess an extraordinary sense of touch with five times more nerve endings than the human hand. Raccoons are nocturnal and can readily open locks, latches and bins.

Did you know that Germany's raccoon population descends from a handful of animals released at Lake Edersee in 1934? From these few individuals grew a population now exceeding one million raccoons in Germany.
