Procyon is a genus of nocturnal mammals, comprising three species commonly known as raccoons, in the family Procyonidae.The most familiar species, the common raccoon (P. lotor), is often known simply as the raccoon, as the two other raccoon species in the genus are native only to the tropics and less well known.lthough there is some variation depending on species, raccoons range from 20â40 inches (51â102 cm) in length (including the tail) and weigh between 10 and 35 lb (4.5 and 15.9 kg).
The raccoon is a medium sized bear-like mammal that was originally only found in North America. Due to the deliberate introduction of the raccoon into other countries, the common raccoon can also be found now in Europe and Japan.The average raccoon is around 70 cm from the raccoons nose to the tip of the raccoons tail. A fully grown raccoon can weigh up to 10kg and can live for up to 20 years in captivity.accoons are grey, omnivorous animals surviving on a diet consisting of insects, plants and small animals such as fish and the occasional bird. Raccoons tend to be nocturnal but it is not uncommon to spot a raccoon during the day.
