They are found commonly in every one of the lower 48 States, in much of southern Canada and throughout Mexico and Central America. Raccoons are very adaptable animals and thrive in all kinds of habitats from the desert southwest to tropical forests


The common name ';raccoon'; comes from the Indian word ';arakum'; or ';aracoun,'; meaning ';he scratches with his hands.'; Adult raccoons may be up to 3 feet long and weigh up to 30 pounds.


Raccoons are found across most of North America. They have long been common in the eastern United States, but less so in western states. In the 1940s, a continent-wide population explosion occurred as raccoons expanded their range and increased in abundance. There were at least 15 times more raccoons in North American in the 1980s than in the 1930s.


In Nebraska prior to 1940, raccoons were common only in the eastern third of the state and were relatively scarce elsewhere. Currently, raccoons are common statewide although they remain more abundant in eastern Nebraska. In western and central Nebraska, raccoons are most abundant along major rivers and streams.


Raccoons have adapted well to urban life and are among the most common wildlife species found in cities and towns.


Raccoons are primarily forest inhabitants and most trees in Nebraska grow near water, so raccoons here are usually associated with rivers and streams (riparian areas). Ideal raccoon habitat is a well-timbered area containing several large, mature trees and including a combination of grain crops and water.


The raccoon is an important and valuable furbearer in Nebraska. From 1941 to 1989, more than 1.7 million raccoons were taken by fur hunters and trappers in Nebraska. Harvest totals from 1980 to 1989 indicate an average annual harvest of 73,000 raccoons with a total value of $1,281,000. This represents over 50 percent of the average annual value of all furbearers harvested in Nebraska from 1980 to 1989.


The 87th General Assembly adopted the raccoon as Tennessee鈥檚 wild animal, and the annual harvest of raccoons there is another high percentage.
