The raccoon, scientific name Procyon lotor, is found mainly in North America along with some parts of Mexico, Canada and South America. From rainforest to city streets, these scrappy mammals will live almost anywhere. Racoons are most recognisable by the mask-like black fur around their eyes and light and dark rings around their tail. The rest of their bodies are covered in grey-brown fur. Raccoons can grow up to three feet long and 22 pounds in weight.
Raccoons are omnivores and very flexible eaters. Their diet is determined by their environment and can include frogs, fish, insects, mice and plants. They tend to gorge on food in the warmer months and sleep for most of winter. Raccoons are nocturnal mammals who communicate through a variety of hisses, growls and whistles. In the wild, raccoons only live for 2 or 3 years.
