Dang, and just at that stage in my life where I need it, and now it is a
pre-existing condition that would make me ineligible for health
insurance. ;-(

We do indeed have raccoons and the live in areas quite far north, much
further north than I had expected. Toronto has one of the greatest
raccoon populations in the world.

When I read the comment about them being indigenous to the USA I
understood it to mean that they were .... indidegenous.... naturally
occurring, as opposed to some of the critters that were brought to the
country, like ring neck pheasants.

"Raccoons are indigenous to the USA". They're also indigenous to Canada.
And, for all I know, Mexico. Ah, here it is:

The raccoon is native to North America and can be found throughout the United States, except for parts of the Rocky Mountains, and southwestern states like Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. It can also be found in parts of Canada, Mexico and the northern-most regions of South America.

What does the proximity of "USA" and "we" suggest to you? Perhaps that I am
a citizen of USA?

We have snake killing birds: eagles, kookaburras, butcher birds. I
don't know if they survive eating a baby brown snake, though. Another
danger to snakes are other snakes. No raccoons, but we have possums.

Strange. Canadians are always so proud that they have better health
insurance than Americans.

Coons are valid species legally hunted in the south. Coon hunting
dogs are also revered.

There is a coon dog cemetery in NW alabama

https://www.coondogcemetery.com/

I visited the cemetery on a deer hunting trip many years ago. It's
a nice place.

The citation is in error. I have personally seen raccoons in Western Nevada.
When animal "ranges" exclude states that border other states that the
animals live within, the citation is almost always incorrect. Citations
should always include the disclaimer, "in general".
I shot a white-winged scoter once on Walker Lake, Nevada. The bird had no
business being there. They´re ocean ducks. That´s a bad example. Scoters
aren't native, but raccoons are, in Western Nevada.

Those raccoons are like the early pioneers heading West in America. My friend spotted a fish that was native to Tahiti. He figures it was the only one of it's kind in the area. Somehow it was swept away thousands of miles out his waters and into the waters of Hawaii. He was doomed to be alone out here. That fish was like an astronaut stranded on Mars. Someone should catch it and bring it home. Well, either that, or eat it.

When I was a kid we found the body of a sea turtle in Lake Ontario.
That is about 1,000 miles from the ocean.

I´m going to piggyback my answer to your other ring-necked pheasant post. I
accidentally erased that one. A reasonable man would suppose that the
pheasant was a ring-necked. Even I would. Nowadays, google allows people to
conveniently see actual pictures.
I never shot a hen ring-necked pheasant. Hen pheasants are illegal to shoot
in my state. My wife suggested it was a golden pheasant to me, so I googled
to prove her wrong. I can´t.
The feather barring is much closer to a golden pheasant, from the photos
easily available, than to a ring-necked. Neither are native to my backyard. I
simply don´t know the species. I do know that I was looking at a hen.
