🐾Crab-eating raccoon
Le Raton crabier (Procyon cancrivorus), également connu sous le nom de « chien crabier », est une espèce de mammifères carnivores de la famille des Procyonidés, originaire des zones humides, des mangroves et des forêts tropicales d’Amérique centrale et d’Amérique du Sud. Proche parent du raton laveur, il se distingue morphologiquement par des membres plus fins et allongés ainsi qu'une adaptation prononcée à la vie arboricole et aux milieux aquatiques. Décrit pour la première fois à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, cet omnivore opportuniste se nourrit principalement de fruits, de crustacés, d'amphibiens et de divers petits invertébrés ou vertébrés. Bien qu'il fasse localement face à des pressions anthropiques telles que la dégradation de son habitat et la pollution des cours d'eau, l'espèce dispose d'une vaste aire de répartition et est classée par l'UICN comme de « préoccupation mineure ».
