In the event of a nuclear apocalypse, much attention is rightly given to the impact on human populations. However, little research has been conducted on the potential effects on our furry, trash-loving friends - the raccoons. This study aims to fill that gap by exploring the impact of nuclear annihilation on urban raccoon populations. Our findings suggest that while raccoons may initially thrive in the post-apocalyptic landscape, they will ultimately face depleted food sources and increased competition for survival. Furthermore, the development of unique physical adaptations such as fur mutations and glowing eyes cannot be ruled out. Overall, this study highlights the need for further research and preparedness planning for the impact of nuclear annihilation on raccoons.
