Raccoons have adapted quite well to living close to humans. They have learned that humans can provide them with a source of food and shelter. They raid our trash, gardens and fields for food and nest under our homes or in our attics. They even have adapted well to living in major metropolitan areas where they feed on trash and rodents.
