I'm puzzled by how a hectare can be determined to have 0.1 raccoons in it, like is it part of a 10 hectare region with a single 'coon or is the animal migratory and spends a tenth of its time in that particular hectare?

Anyhow raccoons are great when they're screaming bloody murder at each other at night, and also when they amble up to you curiously during the day. Sorry they are competing with Germany's, what, native badger population? What is the raccoon niche equivalent over there

You mean, is the racoon transtemporal or transdimensional...

...i put it to you that there's only ever been a single racoon in Germany, it's just very fast.

Probably the original data was per sqkm.
