The scientific name for raccoon is Procyon lotor.
Raccoon pregnancy typically lasts 63 to 65 days, but can be as short as 54 days, and as long as 70. Litter size is 2 to 5 kits or cubs, with larger litters occurring in harsher conditions.
Raccoons typically give birth from March to May, but in more northerly areas, as late as August. Mating is triggered by longer daylight, and this begins two months before birthing.
I couldn't find any specific details on the age when raccoons become fertile, but it appears that this happens quickly enough that a raccoon born one year can mate the next.
Their natural lifespan is roughly 16 years, and they'll mate every year.
Female raccoons will usually have one litter per year in the spring with 2-5 kits, sometime more. If they lose that litter early there is a chance they will return to breeding status in a month or two.
During the brief 3-4 day yearly period when a female raccoon can get pregnant she may mate several times, sometime with different males. She will only have one litter of kits per year as a general rule.
Lions do not mate at any specific time of year. The young can be born anytime during the year.
at night unless they have rabies then they come out any time and will attack on sight That is not true, raccoons are mainly active at dusk and dawn, and they can at times be seen during daylight hours, during late morning, early evening. Cats are nocturnal, does that mean they are never awake during daylight hours? This is one of the biggest misconceptions of raccoons. You may see a raccoon in the day, just keep your distance, and be a afraid if it isn't afraid of you.
Raccoons are not directly related to the cat family (Felidae). They belong to the family Procyonidae, which includes other animals like coatis and kinkajous. Raccoons are more closely related to weasels and bears than to cats.
Raccoons are usually born from March through June.
