Raccoons have a mating season of 1 or February, a pregnancy period of 63-65 days, and give birth once a year. They gave birth to young children in April or May (affected by the weather), with 3-7 children, but usually 4 children. They usually live in tree holes, burrows or caves. Babies can be weaned at the end of summer and then start to live independently. Raccoons don't hibernate, but they hide in cold winter.
