A raccoon is a very resilient animal. It is immune to many infectious and invasive diseases and aggressively defends itself from predators. However, you should be careful, because raccoons themselves can carry serious infectious diseases. Raccoons are attacked by coyotes, wolves, bobcats, elks, alligators, and owls; snakes on cubs. In the Caucasus, the number of raccoons is well regulated by the common jackal

Thanks to the excellent night vision and the markings, the bundles of which are located not only on the head, but also around the claws, on the inner side of the limbs, on the chest and stomach, the raccoon moves confidently even in complete darkness at a gallop.

A raccoon as tall as a cat. Body length 45-60 cm, tail 20-25 cm; weight 5-9 kg (for winter hibernation due to the accumulation of fat [5]). The paws are short, with such developed fingers that the traces look like the print of a human palm. A raccoon can grab and hold objects with its front paws, including washing food. The high sensitivity of the paws replaces a farsighted raccoon with near vision. Raccoon fur is thick, brownish-gray.

The raccoon, or American raccoon [1] (lat. Procyon lotor), is a predatory mammal of the raccoon genus of the raccoon family. One of the few species that thrive in the conditions of increased anthropogenic impact, expressed in the gradual cultivation of lands [2]. The raccoon takes root well in the places of introduction, although it is generally a heat-loving species. On the territory of Russia, the species has well mastered the western (Black Sea) and eastern (Caspian) regions of the North Caucasus, where it has become a dangerous invasive species that threatens the local flora and fauna [3]. In Belarus, it took root well in Polesie. The raccoon is easily tamed and suitable for captive breeding[4].
