The lifespan of raccoons in the wild is estimated at three to five years, and they have been known to live up to 16 years. A captive raccoon was recorded living for 21 years. Genetic studies have shown that the closest relatives of the raccoon are the ring-tailed cats, coatis and cacomistles. Photo courtesy of Gary Seloff. #WildlifeWednesday #raccoon #bayouanimals
