Computers Can Help us Find Raccoons and Other Living Creatures

If we want to protect our environment, we first need to know where animals and plants are. Are they hidden in the woods? Are they next to cities? Which woods or which cities? Wandering all over the world to find where living things are might seem exciting at first. However, in the long run, it might get a little tiring, no? Thankfully, we do not need to explore every corner of the Earth to know where the animals and plants are. Scientists instead use computers to deduce where certain species might be. In this article, we will describe how to find where raccoons live, by giving a computer special instructions. To do so, we just need a few observations of raccoons, the environmental conditions in which they have been identified, and a set of instructions to give to our computer.
