The most common and well-known is the North American raccoon (Procyon lotor), which ranges from northern Canada and most of the United States southward into South America.
Those trends were exemplified by some of the most-successful North American urban carnivores such as raccoons (Procyon lotor), coyotes, andred foxes (Vulpes vulpes).
Mesopredators, such as coyotes (Canis latrans), red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), and raccoons (Procyon lotor), are typically outcompeted by top carnivores, such as wolves (Canis lupus) and cougars (Puma concolor).
Racoons, Procyon lotor, were tracked via radiotelemetry during their nightly movements.
This study evaluated characteristics associated with raccoon (Procyon lotor) rabies in New York State (NYS), USA, where this disease has been endemic for the last 15 years.
The SA-GC-AFS method was successfully applied to MeHg determination in 76 racoon (Procyon lotor) samples (muscle, liver, kidney, brain).
The raccoon roundworm (Baylisascaris procyonis), a gastrointestinal parasite of the raccoon (Procyon lotor), has increased its global geographic range after being translocated with its host.
The raccoon (Procyon lotor) is native to North and Central America but at present it also occurs in several European and Asian countries.
Of 1156 nest predation events, 73% were attributed to raccoons (Procyon lotor), 15% to snakes and 7% to southern flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans).
The model was applied to the raccoons (Procyon lotor) on the Savannah River Site (SRS), a former nuclear production and current research facility.
Frequent fire can also reduce foraging habitat for common avian nest predators such as raccoons (Procyon lotor; Jones et al. 2004), and thus, conservation practices that reduce use by predators may result in increased nest success.
