The raccoon (Procyon lotor), sometimes spelled as racoon, and also known as the common raccoon, North American raccoon, northern raccoon and colloquially as coon, is a medium-sized mammal native to North America.

The different types of damage which raccoons are capable of causing are almost too numerous to mention.

In urban environments, raccoons are adept at finding homes in uncapped chimneys, open soffits and don't mind tearing off shingles or fascia to gain entrance to an attic or wall void, ripping off foundation vents to make a home under the house is a common occurrence too. But so is tearing up lawns in the spring time to teach their young (kits) how to forage for food such as grubs and earthworms, destroying gardens, and dumping over trash cans. While in the attic or under the house, or even in the wall voids, the urine and feces, can build up and cause a great stench that can constitute health hazards to the homeowner. In more rural environments, raccoons can be highly destructive in and around poultry barns. Raccoons are very intelligent creatures who have no problems opening jars cabinets or the like.

The Raccoons main diet consists of grubs, rodents, trash, love to eat bugs, and insects and even an occasional rabbit and chicken when available.

These critters dig up our lawns and flower beds. They tear off siding, and enter our houses either through openings they have made themselves, or ones that the builder left open.

The fleas and ticks they harbor, carry harmful parasites and disease. They tend to make homes in our attics and under our houses. When under the house, the Raccoons tend to live up inside bathtubs. They bring in large amounts of trash and other debris.

Raccoons are very clean members of the  wildlife kingdom. They will wash their food if dirt gets on it.

The raccoon (Procyon lotor), sometimes spelled as racoon, and also known as the common raccoon, North American raccoon, northern raccoon and colloquially as coon, is a medium-sized mammal native to North America. As a result of escapes and deliberate introductions in the mid-20th century, raccoons are now also distributed across the European mainland, the Caucasus region and Japan. Their original habitats are deciduous and mixed forests, but due to their adaptability they have extended their range to mountainous areas, coastal marshes, and even urban areas, where some homeowners consider them pests.

With a body length of 41 to 72 cm (16.1–28.0 in) and a weight of 3.6 to 9.0 kg (7.9–19.8 lb), the raccoon is the largest procyonid. The dense underfur, which insulates against cold weather, accounts for almost 90% of the raccoon's grayish coat. Two of its most distinctive features are its extremely dexterous front paws and its facial mask, which are also themes in the mythology of several Native American tribes. Raccoons are also noted for their intelligence; studies have shown that they are able to remember the solution to tasks up to three years later. Raccoons are omnivorous and usually nocturnal; their diet consists of about 40% invertebrates, 33% plant foods and 27% vertebrates. Captive raccoons sometimes douse their food before eating it, which is most likely a vacuum activity imitating foraging at shores.

Though previously thought to be solitary, there is now evidence that raccoons engage in gender-specific social behaviors. Related females often share a common area, while unrelated males live together in groups of up to four animals to maintain their positions against foreign males during the mating season and other potential invaders. Home range sizes vary anywhere from 0.03 km2 (0.01 sq mi or 7.4 acres) for females in cities to 49.5 km2 (19.1 sq mi) for males in prairies. After a gestation period of about 65 days, two to five young are born in spring. The kits are subsequently raised by their mother until dispersion in late fall. Although captive raccoons have been known to live over 20 years, their average life expectancy in the wild is only 1.8 to 3.1 years. Hunting and traffic accidents are the two most common causes of death in many areas.
