Raccoon Behavior & Habits 

Raccoons are adaptable and resourceful creatures allowing them to thrive in both rural and urban environments. Their mischievous antics and undeniable charm help them to easily captivate our curiosity. Here are some interesting facts about raccoon behavior and habits. 

  • Raccoons are primarily nocturnal creatures, meaning they are most active during the night. This behavior allows them to avoid daytime predators, while also accessing food sources that aren’t always available during the daytime. They are able to use their excellent night vision and sense of smell to help them navigate their surroundings and find food. 
  • Raccoons are generally solitary animals and tend to only exhibit social behaviors during the mating season, and when raising their young. Occasionally raccoons may form loose social groups in areas with abundant food, but most of the time you will see a raccoon by itself. 
  • Raccoons have a diverse diet and will adapt their diet to fit the area they are inhabiting. Raccoons are omnivores, meaning they consume a wide range of foods, including fruits, vegetables, insects, small animals, and even human food scraps. 
  • Raccoons live in spaces called dens, and they can make them in most areas. Common raccoon dens are in hollow trees, ground burrows, brush piles, barns, abandoned buildings, or in parts of homes like chimneys, attics, and beneath decks and porches.
