The Irma C, an old coal barge, rests a few miles east of the G&D wreck. Her remains have been reduced to a small low-lying patch of wreckage, so that fishing or dive boats may find it a little tricky to anchor on her.

Raccoon

Procyon lotor
( literally: pre-dog washer )

Size: 3 ft ( total length )

Habitat: around water

Notes: Raccoons are not really aquatic. They like to live around water so that they can dunk their food. Maybe they're washing it, or maybe they just like wet food, but they will use any water that is handy - a birdbath, swimming pool, or dog dish will do in a pinch.
