More info: Raccoons are found in North and Central America, Europe and Japan. Because they are so adaptable, they are able to live in a wide range of climates and habitats. Raccoons typically make their homes, called dens, in trees or rock crevices, though they will also make use of haystacks, barns, abandoned vehicles and other man-made locations.
Though raccoons are more than happy to make human areas their homes, they can be vicious when approached by people.
Raccoons are easily recognised by their “black mask” of fur around their eyes, also known as a “bandit mask,” and black rings around their furry tails. Raccoons are about the size of a small dog.
Raccoons are omnivores, feeding on a diet of both meat and vegetables. They like grasshoppers, nuts, berries, mice, squirrels, and bird eggs. Raccoons are opportunistic feeders and are very adept at taking food from garbage cans with the aid of their nimble handlike paws.
Raccoons usually have one litter per year, which is usually born in late spring or early summer. One litter may contain between three and five young.
Predators of raccoons include the coyote, fisher, bobcat, red fox, and great horned owl.
