Bandit (raccoon)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bandit (c. 1994-May 9, 2004) was a raccoon, who came to attention after being named "The World's Fattest Raccoon" by The Guinness Book of World Records. He was born with a thyroid problem which lead to his massive weight gain. He was adopted by a dog and raised as one of her puppies. He was later taken in by a woman in Palmerton, Pennsylvania. At the time of his death he weighted almost 75 pounds.
