	The Velvet Claw
		Modern carnivores are split among eight families: the civets and genets (Viverridae), the cats (Felidae), the dogs (Canidae), the hyenas (Hyaenidae), the bears (Ursidae), the raccoons and coatis (Procyonidae), the weasels, otters, badgers and skunks (Mustelidae), and the mongooses (Herpestidae).
		Raccoon’s affinity for water may have helped it reach various Carribbean islands by rafting and forming five different species; the Barbados, Bahama, Guadalopes, Cozumel and Tres Marias raccoons.
		However, as opposed to the smaller size of the raccoon family, which has led them to radiate the most species in the tropics, members of the bear family chose to grow large, thus, occurring predominantly in cold or temperate climates.
