Nativeness Notes
The raccoon is native to south, central and some of North America, exlcuding portions of western Wyoming the great basin and the colorado plateau (HALL 1981). Human induced landscape changes have expanded the species' range greatly over the past century (Laiberte and Ripple 2004), possibly allowing colonization of BICA and other formerly peripheral areas, where it was not formerly present.; Data Source: Doug Keinath - Lead Zoologist - Wyoming Natural Diversity Database
