Apparently the oursin or sea urchin is also known in some places as the "sea hedgehog".

In the Olympic Coast National Park for sure. When we were hiking there it was common to see raccoons checking out tide pools.

That's one of the most unexpected crossovers in the animal kingdom I've ever encountered! Right up there with baboons chasing flamingos.

I don't find it particularly odd. Raccoons (like humans) will eat almost anything. If they had opposed thumbs we'd be in deep shit.

LOL!

I meant, I guess, that I just don't think of raccoons as coastal.

Raccoons are one of the most adaptable of animals so they live in all kinds of places, notably the city. The Olympic Forest comes right down to the beach so it's actually excellent raccoon habitat.

See, now I've gone off in my head on a little ramble that involves the rings on a raccoon's tail actually forming the Olympic Rings.
