Did you know? The 1977 TV show "Rascal the Raccoon" is the sole reason behind Japan's raccoon problem. The anime show was so popular that up to 1500 raccoons were imported as pets each year after the success of it. Unfortunately, mimicking the show’s ending, people then let loose the racoons into the wild, where the invasive critters continue to wreak havoc on their non-native environment to this day.
