LOL, they are adaptable for sure. They'd be in serious trouble otherwise.
Where I am they certainly couldn't survive on the remaining stocks of mackeral, herring and sand eels that genuinely were their staple diet when I was a kid. I remember watching them fish in the summer amongst huge shoals of mackeral and herring just offshore, but there just arent the fish in the coastal waters now.
They are now on the RSPB 'amber' (declining) list in the UK. 'They have suffered moderate declines over the past 25 years and over half of their UK breeding population is confined to fewer than ten sites.' (quote from RSPB website).

I'm suprised now that this thread has expanded to 'all' animals that nobody across the pond has mentioned Raccoons?
They are pretty much the cutest ninja bandits of the animal world!
