Raccoons (procyon lotor) are small mammals originally native to the southern Unived States, Mexico and Central American, weighing from four to thirty pounds, with adults averaging about twenty pounds. Like many mammals they tend to be smaller toward the equator and larger the farther away from it. Their range now extends as far north as Canada in North America, down to Panama in Central America. They have been deliberately introduced or released as pets now in Europe, Asia, and Japan, where they have established populations.
