In the wild raccoons seldom live for more than 2-3 years due to hunters and vehicle accidents. In captivity they may live 15-20 years or more.
Plato never heard of raccoons. Raccoons are natives to the Americas and were not found in ancient Greece. Raccoons were not introduced to Europe until the 20th century, long after Plato had died.
it depends but if you do have raccoons you should move your garbage into your garage
Raccoons are thought to be at least partially color blind and their poor long-distance vision.
Yes they do reproduce because their are male and female Raccoons
The lifespan of a rat is 2 to 3 years on average.
The expression "in a coon's age" dates to the early 1800s, and to the folk belief that raccoons are long-lived. According to Straight Dope a wild individual raccoon might live up to 5 to 7 years (average survival being much lower, though, probably 2-3 years), and in captivity they can live up to 14-17 years. So their lifespan is comparable to that of a dog. In the early 1800s, it's doubtful if anyone knew how long raccoons actually lived, and two to three years in the wild is not really very long. But raccoon fur is hardy and reasonably durable, which might have given rise to the belief of longevity.
No. They have a short lifespan because they do not contain a nucleus.
They are made when you are born...so there lifespan is based on how long you live.
