If by 'kinds' you mean species, there are two or three distinct species of raccoon.1.) The common (or northern) raccoon lives in North and Central America.

2.) The crab eating raccoon is a native of both Central and South America.

3.) The Cozumel raccoon is found only on Cozumel Island of Mexico. Some consider it to be simply a subspecies of the common raccoon. Others consider it a separate species.
