There are two species of raccoon; the common raccoon (which has four subspecies) and the Cozumel raccoon. There are three extant (living) subspecies of common raccoon and one extinct subspecies of common raccoon. While the Barbados raccoon has been extinct since 1964, the three extant species (the Bahaman raccoon, the Guadelupe raccoon and the Tres Marias raccoon) are all considered Endangered by the IUCN.

Female raccoons will typically have 2-5 kits in a litter and the kits may stay with her through their first winter. Males only join a female during the mating season and then return to a more or less solitary life once the breeding season is over.
