Krabi-pesukaru, Procyon cancrivorus

Krabi-pesukaru ei toitu ainult krabidest, söögiks sobivad ka vähid, teised koorikloomad, väikesed kahepaiksed, kilpkonnamunad ja puuviljad. Elutseb see pesukaruliik Costa Ricast Argentiinani ning elupaigana eelistab mageveekogude lähedal asuvaid alasid. Kuigi olulisema osa elust veedab ta maapinnal, ei põlga krabi-pesukaru ka puudel turnimist. Fotol noor karupõnn Manuel Antonio rahvuspargis, Costa Ricas.

Crab-eating raccoon does not feed only on crabs but also on lobsters, other crustaceans, small amphibians, turtle eggs and fruits. It is found from Costa Rica to Argentina and its preferred habitat is near streams, lakes and rivers. This raccoon is primarily terrestrial but will also spend a significant amount of time in trees.
