Procyon lotor (Raccoon): Narrative
Raccoons are extremely adaptable and continue to thrive despite the encroachment of civilization on their range. Woodlands near water are their preferred habitat, although raccoons may also be found in farmlands, suburban or urban areas. [eng] |

Common Raccoon (Procyon lotor)
Raccoons are primarily inhabitants of broadleaf woodlands, although they are rather common in the mixed-pine forests of southeastern Texas. They seldom occur far from water, which seems to have more influence on their distribution than does any particular type of vegetation. Still, they are one of the most abundant carnivores in the semi-desert areas of West Texas. [eng] |

Raccoon (Procyon lotor)
The raccoon lives in almost all areas of the United States and in southern Canada and northern Mexico. Although it prefers to live in woods near a stream or marsh, the raccoon is a very adaptable animal. Instead of using a tree to sleep in, it can use a chimney or a ditch culvert. Because many of the raccoon’s natural habitat areas are being destroyed, it moves in closer to man, using the same habitat, and even eating the same foods as people. [eng] |

Comparative Mammalian Brain Collections: North American raccoon (Procyon lotor)
Two subgenera and seven species are currently recognized. Raccoons frequent timbered and brushy areas, usually near water. They are more nocturnal than diurnal and are good climbers and swimmers. The den is usually in a hollow tree, or in a rock crevice, an overturned stump, a burrow made by another animal or a human building. Each den is usually occupied for only one or two days. [eng] |

Raccoon, Procyon lotor
Everyone knows the raccoon. These stocky dog-sized animals with the black mask across the eyes and the ringed tail are difficult to mistake for anything else as they amble along with their distinctive rolling gait. Walking along the river you will often see their tracks in the mud as evidence of their presence. The long fingered hand-like prints distinguish raccoon prints from those of other species you might find. [eng] |
