Taxonomic Comments
Revised taxonomy suggested by Trujillo and Hoffman (2017) would result in three subspecies in Florida: Procyon lotor elucus, P. l. auspicatus, and P. l. inesperatus. Two subspecies, P. l. marinus and P. l. incautus, would become synonymized.

Ecology & Habitat

Habitat

Various habitats; usually in moist situations, often along streams and shorelines. Dens under logs or rock, in tree hole, ground burrow, or in bank den (Armstrong 1975).

Ecology

Average home range is 90-150 acres (Baker 1983). Population density was reported as l individual per 10-16 acres by Baker (1983). Winter density was 1/70.4 ha and 1/34.5 ha at two locations in Tennessee (Kissell and Kennedy 1992). Typically solitary except female with young.

Reproduction

Breeds late winter (late January to mid-March). Gestation lasts 63 days. One litter of 3-7 (average 3-4) is produced late April to early May. Young are weaned at 10-12 weeks. Young stay with mother through winter or until next litter born. Sexually mature in 1-2 years; % of yearlings breeding varies annually and/or regionally. Males mate promiscuously.
