Abstract:

"Raccoons on St. Catherines Island, Georgia, eat more animals as food items from winter into spring, during which time native fruits decrease in availability and insects, marsh crustaceans, mollusks, and fish increase in availability. Crustaceans became less important from June to August, as they were replaced in the diet by vegetation, mainly grapes"--P. [1].
