This species of raccoon is severely endangered

 The pygmy raccoon is a distinct subspecies of raccoon .

          The pygmy raccoon is critically endangered in 2026,with only 200 individuals left on earth.

            They live only on Cozumel Island off the coast of Mexico.They weigh about 6 to 9 pounds only,making them much smaller than common raccoons .

             They face a lot of threats.

                 Hotels and beach clubs have in significant part destroyed their mangrove homes.Tourists feed them junk food like tortilla chips,causing malnutrition.Cars and domestic pigs also kill many pygmy raccoons.

                 Urgent measures need to be taken to protect the pygmy raccoon or Cozumel dwarf raccoon from extinction.Wake up tourists and tourism officials.
