Male and female raccoons do not live together unless the male is a young offspring of the female.
In the wild, the average life span of raccoons is only 2-3 years as many die by hunters and vehicle accidents. In captivity raccoons can live 15-20 years or more.
Raccoons inhabit many ecosystems, from deserts to rain forests. The number of plants in all these areas is overwhelming - not possible to list here.
Raccoons by nature are a dirty animal, and live in dirty water, as they eat anything found in the gutters; they also take baths in it. Raccoons are unusual because they have no salivary glands. They must live near water to wash and wet food for eating. The water moistens the food, and replaces the missing saliva.
Raccoons live in many major metropolitan areas. They are enticed by the ample supply of food in the form of human garbage as well as the rats and mice it attracts.
Raccoons live only in North, Central and South America and there is no census of how many there are. That would be virtually impossible considering the retiring nature of the raccoon and the inaccessibility of much of their habitat.
Yes, there are raccoons in all the deserts of North America. I live in the Chihuahuan Deserr and do a lot of wildlife work. Over the years I have raised many orphaned raccoons. They do tend to restrict their area to zones close to permanent water, however.
Around 200 million Arabs live in the Middle East.
