About the Raccoon

At 30 to 37 inches and weighing up to 23 pounds, the common Raccoon can grow to the size of a small dog. They are brown and grey in color, with a black mask and rings around the tail. Raccoons will eat nearly anything, and can find their way into sheds, attics, garages, and crawlspaces.
