Where Found	A baby raccoon is likely to be found in a den such as a hollow tree, in an attic or chimney, or under a storage building or deck.
Time of Year	Raccoons usually bear their young in the spring, typically March through May; however, can be born in summer if the mother lost her first litter, or as early as January in years with a mild winter.
Distinguishing Features	Mask is visible; note dark fur around eyes and faint rings on tail.

Is the animal hurt or sick (bleeding, shivering, vomiting, or has been attacked by a cat or dog)?
