Squirrel or Raccoon; which is more caloric? Help!

I would think that squirrels would, because of a high protein and fat diet compared to raccoon, however this is being challenged as I watched a Raccoon dump my garbage, and was eating old hot dogs i threw out the night before. So now I think its Raccoon that would be more caloric.

Any help on this Critter Diet would be appreciated, time is of the essence cause the raccoon is starting to wander off, and my wifi signal only goes so far.

  • OOohh, as i suspected Raccoon has the higher calorie content at 217 per 3oz serving, compared to 147 calories per 3oz serving of squirrel. Whew, that was a close call. You win this time raccoon......

    Definitely the raccoon, especially if you intend to eat the animal whole.
  • Very true Cat! I tried that once and asphyxiated on it to the point i had to be rushed to emerge. I've tatooed a reminder on my index finger to my thumb "Bit size peices!" Don't want a repeat y'know?
