Many animals sleep in trees

Not only racoons (photo), but also other species, like many primates (e.g. chimpanzees, gibbons, baboons), ring-tailed lemurs, (and many birds, e.g. peacocks) sleep in trees.

It can be assumed that animals which usually spend their active time on the ground, prefer the safety of trees at  night.
