RACCOONS

    Raccoons

    Raccoons: What you need to know

    Identifying Characteristics

    • A Raccoon is 2 to 4 feet in length (nose to tail)
    • They are most recognized by the dark fur around their eyes that resembles a mask
    • Finding your garbage raided after being left outside is often a sign of Raccoon activity
    • Another sign of raccoon activity is hearing noises in an attic or chimney (most likely places they will nest at a residence)
    • They are most active at night

    Active Season

    • Raccoons generally become inactive by late October, only re-emerging for the mating season that begins in January
    • They usually give birth around April or May
    • There are 3 to 6 cubs in a litter, who will be on their own after the first year

    Interesting Facts

    • Raccoons can fit through surprisingly small openings only 2½ x 4 inches
    • They are more likely to be killed by an automobile than by another predator
    • They have been clocked running at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour

    Cause for Concern

    • Raccoons are known to be the top wildlife host of rabies in America
    • They are extremely destructive to property and dangerous to pets
