Three friendly-looking and curious animals were spotted by a reader during a Tuesday walk along Piastów Street in Bolesławiec. The animals were on the grounds of the hospital on Tysiąclecia Avenue. They were looking into and coming out of the sewer there.
Although the raccoon looks like a nice and friendly animal, in our environment it is an invasive species that threatens other local animals. The raccoon is an omnivore.
In North America, where it comes from, it is considered a pest. If it feels threatened, it can be aggressive toward humans. Generally, however, it avoids contact with them.
We have already reported several times on raccoons in our area:
