Raccoons are mammals – warm-blooded, hairy creatures (like us!) that are easily recognized by the mask of black hair on their face and a variable number of black rings that circle their densely haired long tail. Males and females are similar in appearance. Both sexes can vary in the number of rings on the tail, although most have about six rings. Raccoons are basically nocturnal animals. They are out and about at dawn and dusk as well as in the darkness of night, but by day they are usually sleeping comfortably in a hollow log, hole in the ground, or in some other cavity – sometimes even in an abandoned building. Males move about by night over much greater distances than females – they are not only searching for food, but also for additional mates.
