The Raccoon or Procyon lotor is a medium-sized mammal native to North America.

The raccoon is the largest of the procyonid family, having a body length of 16 to 28 inches and a body weight 8 to 20 lbs. Its grayish coat mostly consists of dense underfur which insulates it against cold weather. Two of their most distinctive features are its extremely dexterous front paws and its facial mask.

They are lively, nocturnal omnivores found from southern Canada to Panama. Their diet consist of crayfish, crabs, frogs, fish, nuts seeds and berries. They are also known to raid campsites and enjoy human food as well.

The raccoon or Procyon lotors original habitats are deciduous and mixed forests, but due to their adaptability they have extended their range to mountainous areas, coastal marshes, and urban areas, where some homeowners consider raccoons to be pests.

As a result of escapes and deliberate introductions in the mid-20th century, Racoons or Procyon lotor are now also distributed across much of mainland Europe, Caucasus, and Japan.

Related raccoon or Procyon lotor females often share a common area, while unrelated males live together in groups of up to four animals to maintain their positions against foreign males during the mating season.

After a gestation period of about 65 days, two to five young, known as “kits”, are born in spring. The kits are subsequently raised by their mother until dispersal in late fall.
