The original habitats of the raccoon are deciduous and mixed forests, but due to their adaptability, they have extended their range to mountainous areas, coastal marshes, and urban areas, where some homeowners consider them to be pests. As a result of escapes and deliberate introductions in the mid-20th century, raccoons are now also distributed across central Europe, the Caucasus, and Japan.

The mouth and teeth on the raccoon skull can be helpful when identifying the skull. The amount of teeth a skull has is a clue for what animal it is. Raccoons have forty teeth. Their teeth adapt to an omnivore’s diet, so their molars aren’t shearing like other canines. Raccoons have short rostrums compared to other canids and do not have alisphenoid canals. The nasal bones on raccoon skulls are short and broad. The most important natural predators of the common raccoon are bobcats, coyotes, and great horned owls, the latter mainly preying on young raccoons. Bald eagles are another bird that preys on raccoons. In their introduced range in the former Soviet Union, their main predators are wolves, lynxes, and eagle owls. [24] However, predation is not a significant cause of death, especially because larger predators have been exterminated in many areas inhabited by raccoons. [5]

Co., Orange, Connecticut, 177pp. Unlike rabies and at least a dozen other pathogens carried by raccoons, distemper, an epizootic virus, does not affect humans. [7] This disease is the most frequent natural cause of death in the North American raccoon population and affects individuals of all age groups. For example, 94 of 145 raccoons died during an outbreak in Clifton, Ohio, in 1968. It may occur along with a following inflammation of the brain ( encephalitis), causing the animal to display rabies-like symptoms. [5] Sanderson, G.C. and Nalbandov, N.J. 1973.
