Their human-like forepaws are especially sensitive and enable the raccoon to handle and pry open prey and climb with ease. With their fine sense of hearing, raccoons are also especially alert. Similarly, raccoons have excellent night vision. Their common gait is a shuffle like walk; however, they are able to reach speeds of 15 miles per hour on the ground. Raccoons climb with great agility and are not bothered by a drop of just over 10 times their own length. </p><p></p><p>As well as being excellent climbers, raccoons are also strong swimmers, which is beneficial to an animal that often lives near water. However, they are reluctant to swim; without waterproof fur, swimming forces them to take on extra weight.
