Raccoon
The Raccoon (Procyon lotor), also known as the Northern Raccoon, Common Raccoon, or Coon, is a widespread, medium-sized, omnivorous mammal native to
North America. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, they have also been widespread on the
European mainland and in the
Caucasus region, after having escaped from
fur farms. Raccoons usually live together in small, loose groups. Their original habitats are
mixed or
deciduous forests, but due to their adaptability, they are often found in
urban areas where they can be considered
pests at times.
