Raccoons usually live alone, and the father does not help the mother to raise the babies. Three to seven babies are born around February. When they are ten weeks old, the babies leave the den and follow their mother around learning to hunt. They stay near her until the fall, when they set out on their own.

∙ 8y agoRaccoons will form small family groups consisting of the mother and her kits. The young will often spend the first year with their mother and only go on their own after the first winter. Males are solitary and only join the females during mating. Related females often live in a so-called "fission-fusion society", that is, they share a common area and occasionally meet at feeding or resting grounds. Unrelated males often form loose male social groups to maintain their position against foreign males during the mating season or against other potential invaders.

If you are in a rural area it is very likely that if you see a raccoon it is with many raccoons usually traveling to a new destination not necessarily scavenging for food.
