Raccoons are typically unsociable creatures except for breeding season which happens now and into February, as they are not true hibernators . Males will travel quite the distance in search of females in heat, mating with several females yet once the mating is done they have no part of the rearing of the offspring. The pregnant female will den up in a tree cavity, under a porch, a culvert, chimney, attics and crawlspaces. Within two weeks of being born, the cubs are furry with the bandit masked faces. By ten weeks the cubs are weaned and soon begin foraging with the mother. They normally stay together until the following breeding season. They are normally nocturnal although they will search for food during the day, depending on the need for food. Raccoons are omnivores (eat everything) with four types of teeth necessary for their diverse diet of worms, slugs, insects, frogs, snails, berries and garden vegetables.
