(Procyon lotor)
http://wildlife.utah.gov/pdf/mammal.pdf
These omnivorous furbearers occur from desert through submontane elevations. Their population trend is unknown. The male raccoon may travel miles in search of a mate from January to March. Dens are located in hollow trees, logs, rock crevices, or burrows. Clearcutting can seriously reduce the availability of den sites. One to 7 young are born from April to May after a 63 day gestation period. Weaning occurs after 2-4 months and the young will be independent by winter. Adults occupy home ranges of 0.6 to 4 square miles.
