His name is Bandit, and he was the world’s heaviest raccoon from 2001 to 2004 until his death. He was nearly 75 pounds, three times more than the average raccoon.
Bandit, reported to be the world’s fattest raccoon, has died. The 10-year-old furball stuffed itself on crisps, cheese curls, Froot Loops and chips. Owner Deborah Klitsch said she was gutted. “I haven’t been eating, I haven’t been sleeping,” she said. But Deborah denied that she had overfed Bandit. “He was born with a bad thyroid gland,” she said.
Bandit ended up in the Guinness World Records book in 1999 when he tipped the scales at 52.5lbs. At that point Deborah vowed to lock her kitchen cupboards - but Bandit continued to get fatter and fatter. His minor celebrity status increased further when he landed a slot on cable TV’s Food Network. The raccoon was also a regular at his local Ice Cream World, where he enjoyed blue raspberry Slushes sucked through a straw.
Boss Tim Pitts said: “He was a good customer.”
