* Temperate Deciduous Forests: This is their preferred habitat, offering plenty of trees for shelter, diverse food sources, and access to water.
* Mixed Forests: Areas with a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees also provide suitable habitat.
* Urban and Suburban Areas: Raccoons have successfully adapted to human-modified landscapes and thrive in these environments.
* Wetlands: Areas with marshes, swamps, and riverbanks provide access to food and water.
* Woodlands: This includes areas with a variety of trees, shrubs, and undergrowth.
While they are not typically found in extreme environments like deserts or tundras, their adaptability allows them to survive in a wide range of habitats.
