flmnh-346	Mugaas, John; Seidensticker, John	Geographic variation of lean body mass and a model of its effect on the capacity of the raccoon to fatten and fast	1993	26	.pdf	application/pdf	9605	600	67	If this is the case then we would expect to find small raccoons from warm climates having less potential to fatten than larger raccoons from mild and moderate climates, and those, in turn, to have less potential than raccoons from harsh and severe climates. The Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries gave us permission to use wild-caught raccoons in our study. MATERIALS AND METHODS Body masses of adult raccoons from 25° to 45° north latitude were taken from literature (Table 1): Minnesota (Mech et al. 1968), southern Michigan (Stuewer 1943), southwestern Tennessee (Moore and Kennedy 1985), east central and southwestern Alabama (Johnson 1970), central Florida (Goldman 1950), and Key Vaca, Florida (Goldman 1950).	cache/flmnh-346.pdf	txt/flmnh-346.txt
