Raccoon Burglar Strikes Again in US
A raccoon that got drunk and broke into a liquor store last month has caused more trouble.
This time, it broke into a karate studio and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to eat snacks.
The raccoon, nicknamed 'Trash Panda', was found passed out after the liquor store break-in.
It caused a lot of mess and damaged bottles worth about $250.
After sleeping it off, the raccoon was released back into the wild.
Animal control suspects it might strike again at a shopping center.
Scientists say raccoons are changing because they live near humans and are getting more comfortable around people.

A recent study suggests raccoons are evolving to live near humans.
