Metabolic Adaptation to Climate and Distribution of the Raccoon Procyon Lotor and Other Procyonidae
Kathleen P. Mahlke-Johnson and John Seidensticker John N. Mugaas
How does a masked raccoon stay warm from Canadian winters to Panama's heat? Mugaas measures the metabolism of Procyon lotor and links its body's furnace to the wide range the species occupies across the Americas. A focused study of the physiology behind one of the continent's most adaptable and familiar mammals. For anyone curious how a single animal conquers so many climates.
