In fact, central american jungles have cougars, racoons, peccari wild boars, deer, roadrunners…

Fossil records show also…mastodons and elephants (Gomphoterium). In a foto from National Geographic, a purported prehistorical “bear skull” was also shown lying in a cave.
Greetings.

Yes, according to the Smithsonian Book of Mammals (1999) the range of those little bandits extends all the way down to the Panama Canal.

See map.

I never thought of racoons as an indigenous species of Mexico (thought the only “mapaches” around here were the corrupt politicians that steal voting urns!). It’s nice to learn something new
