Raccoons can live in the city or the country. They live in family groups. These groups have parents who might have up to four children. Sometimes I have seen the young adults of previous litters staying with their original family group. Therefore, if you see one, there are bound to be more nearby.
Raccoons have short thin legs, and their bodies are set low to the ground.
In fact, their narrow shoulders and bulky bodies give them an unusual shape that is similar to a clothes iron. The adult males are about two feet long and can weigh almost 45 pounds. Raccoons have thick light brown fur that is sophisticatedly capped with black and white. Their huge striped bushy tails are spectacular. The tails are about a foot long and are ringed with wide bands of black.
