Just another #mammalmonday. A raccoon (Procyon lotor) with her young. Santa Clara County, California. Fun Facts: raccoons are members of the procyonid family which are found only in the Americas. "Raccoon" comes the from Powhatan, an Algonquian language.

The Four Procyonids of the Apocalypse if you will.
All we are missing is Toure and Emmanuel Acho, and boom, we will have the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
had a generative conversation with @vanjones68.bsky.social about #Afrofuturism, justice, Black creativity, and America’s challenges but all with a positive eye toward how #AI and tech could be used for liberation. provocative, thoughtful, @lifewithmachines.bsky.social

Really apt when you look at the more arboreal procyonids, the kinkajou, the olingo, and the ringtail, all of which look like they could easily be strepsirrhine primates

Happy Saturday. How about some raccoons (Procyon lotor) for today? Santa Clara County, California. The word raccoon is Powhatan meaning animal that scratches with its hands. Procyon means pre dog or first dog (though it is not a canid). Loter means washer.

They're not. Taxonomy is a nightmare.While they are in the Superfamily Musteloidea, they are in the Family Procyonidae. Furry noodles are the Family Mustelidae. So while raccoons are Musteloids, they are not Mustelids. They are Procyonids.

YESSS I LOVE PROCYONIDS shout out to coatis too

So the North American raccoon is a plump, gregarious trash panda with mischief in their hearts.

Their cousins to the south are slender, secretive & generally avoid humans, keeping to themselves & their work of hunting small animals.

But they're all glorious, wonderful procyonids. 🦝

The Great American Biotic Interchange was not a one-time event and it began long before the Isthmus of Panama formed-ground sloths made it to North America during the Miocene, while procyonids(raccoons and their relatives) reached South America around the same time.
Please for the love of fox post about something that isn’t politics like don’t you all have any hobbies you can sprinkle in there 😭

Coatimundi are procyonids, cousin to the racoon, and live in Central and South America.

The species in the American Southwest (Texas!) and Mexico is the white-nosed coati. They're about the size of house cats, with long non-prehensile tails.

Moss. Bats. Tardigrades. Procyonids. Cephalopods.

No procyonids refused party

For some reason I know that raccoons are procyonids and are relatively closely related to red pandas which are ailuridae.

IMO it's a toss-up between corvids, procyonids, and mustelids inheriting the earth after we screw it up, tbh.

Though Carnivora and Euarchonta are quite far from one another on the cladogram, some of these procyonids flirt shamelessly with the simian body plan.

As ever, my very caffeinated thanks for the morning Science Tidbit. 😊
