They only stay with the female, the male has nothing to do with raising the young. Some will leave the mother in the first fall. Others will spend the winter with the mother and leave in the spring the following year.
3 to 4 years
As long as they stay babies is how long they stay babies.
Panda cubs stay with their mother for about a year, when the next litter comes along.
I read in a book that about 4 month but some times longer

The gestation period for a raccoon is 63-65 days.
They don't ! Once the eggs hatch, the babies are fully independent and quickly disperse in search of their first meal.
The male raccoon has nothing to do with raising the young. Only the female cares for them. The young may leave on their own after 6 months or may stay with the mother until the following spring.
You should separate them at 5 weeks, but they wean off the mother around week 4.
Raccoons drop their litters in the early spring and the kitts stay with the mothers for 3 to six months in southern areas. In more northern climates they can and often will stay with the mother until the next litter in due.
Cubs may stay with the mother for up to two years.
In my area, the babies start running with the parents in about 2 weeks and then after 2 or so months, they seem to be gone...
