Wish a football lover a Happy 101st Birthday with an adorable raccoon, Sugar Bear playing football on a green football shape frame with yellow balloons on a white background with brown text. FYI; The most important sense for the raccoon is its sense of touch. The hyper sensitive front paws are protected by a thin horny layer that becomes pliable when wet. The five digits of the paws have no webbing between them, which is unusual for a carnivoran. Almost two thirds of the area responsible for sensory perception in the raccoon's cerebral cortex is specialized for the interpretation of tactile impulses, more than in any other studied animal. They are able to identify objects before touching them with vibrissae located above their sharp, nonretractable claws.
