The Barbados raccoon, also known as the Barbados island raccoon, is endemic to Barbados and primarily inhabits the island's forests, wetlands, and coastal areas. These raccoons are often found in regions with dense vegetation, which provides shelter and food sources. They adapt to both natural and human-altered environments, including urban areas, although they prefer areas with abundant cover.
At one time there were raccoons on Barbados - the Barbados raccoon, a subspecies of the common raccoon - but it became extinct in 1964. There are, however, raccoons in the Florida Keys and on some Mexican islands. The best known is the Cozumel raccoon which is critically endangered.
Raccoons live everywhere in Florida.
