Raccoons are not *native* to England, but they definitely *do* live in the wild there! Brits have been importing them from North America for pets, especially since the 2007 change to the law, which says that that licenses are no longer required. Escaped and abandoned raccoons are now showing up and raiding trash cans, bird nests, and gardens. England is quickly heading the way of Germany - where two raccoons imported in the 1930s have now swelled to close to a million (and the songbird population is suffering. Raccoons do love eggs!)

Raccoons are natives only to the Americas and not to England. However, they have been introduced due to the release of pet raccoons imported from the Americas and are now pests in many areas.

Raccoons are not natives to England, only to the Americas. Any raccoons in England would be escaped or released pets.
