Raccoons are commonly found throughout North America, except for the Rocky Mountains and the Great Basin area of California, Utah and Nevada. They prefer living in forest areas near streams and lakes, but are equally at home in suburban and rural areas.

In wooded areas they often make their homes in the hollows of large trees high above the ground. In treeless areas, they can be found living in wood piles, beneath rocky ledges or even holes in streambanks.

They are solitary animals and adults are rarely seen together. In late winter each male mates with several females, then leaves them to raise their families alone. The young, usually three or four in a litter, are born in the spring. Raccoon mothers will protect and provide care for their young for as long as a year.

As nocturnal animals, raccoons are most active late at night and sleep during the day. Possessing superior night vision, they can easily find their way around in the dark.

Raccoons are omnivores, which means they will eat almost any kind of food including nuts, berries, grain, bird eggs, rodents, insects, and crayfish. Corn is one of their favorite foods.

In winter, raccoons do not hibernate, but may become dormant for long periods during cold weather.
