raccoon (genus Procyon ), also called ringtail. 
North American raccoon: raiding red-tailed hawk’s nest Encyclop?dia Britannica, Inc. any of seven species of nocturnal mammals characterized by bushy ringed tails. The most common and well-known is the North American raccoon (Procyon lotor ), which ranges from northern Canada and most of the United States southward into South America. It has a conspicuous black “mask” across the eyes, and the tail is ringed with 5 to 10 black bands.
North American raccoon Leonard Lee Rue III A stout animal with short legs, a pointed muzzle, and small erect ears, the North American raccoon is 75 to 90 cm (30 to 36 inches) long, including the 25-cm (10-inch) tail. Weight is usually about 10 kg (22 pounds) or less, although large males may grow to more than 20 kg. Those living in northern regions are larger than their southern counterparts. The North American raccoon’s fur is shaggy and coarse, and its colour is iron-gray to blackish with brown overtones. Southern raccoons are typically more silver, with northern “coons” tending toward blond or brown.
North American raccoon: searching for food Encyclop?dia Britannica, Inc. Like all raccoons, the North American raccoon is an intelligent and inquisitive animal. The hairless front feet are highly dexterous and resemble slender human hands, the hind feet being thicker and longer. Although classified as a carnivore. the raccoon is omnivorous, feeding on crayfish and other arthropods, rodents, frogs, and fruit and other plant matter, including crops. Raccoons are mistakenly believed to “wash” their food before eating it if water is available. This misconception arises from their habit of searching for food in or near water and then manipulating it while eating.
Raccoons adapt extremely well to human presence, even in towns and cities, where they den in buildings and thrive on a diet of garbage, pet food, and other items available to them. As availability of food is the primary factor affecting the abundance of raccoons, the highest population densities are often found in large cities. In the wild raccoons live in a wide variety of forest and grassland habitats. Most often found in proximity to water, they are also proficient swimmers. They climb readily and usually den in riverbanks, hollow trees or logs, or abandoned beaver lodges.
Raccoons overcome winter food shortages by becoming dormant. This period may last from a few days, in response to occasional southern cold spells, to four to six months at northern latitudes. Northern raccoons are able to do this by accumulating large amounts of body fat during the late summer and autumn. Most will double their springtime body weight in order to provide themselves with enough energy to sleep through the winter.
In early spring males mate with more than one female. Annual litters contain one to six (usually three or four) young, born in late spring after a gestation period of 60–73 days. The female takes a keen interest in her young and cares for them for about a year, even though the young begin hunting food and are weaned at about two months. In captivity raccoons can live up to 20 years, but few survive beyond 5 in the wild. Their large size and vigorous defense sometimes enable them to fend off predators such as bobcat s, coyote s, and mountain lion s. Most deaths, however, are caused by humans and disease, especially canine distemper. parvovirus, and rabies. Rabies is especially significant in the eastern United States, where raccoons surpassed skunks in 1997 as the most frequent vector of the disease. Vaccine-laden bait has been air-dropped in Canada in an effort to stop the spread of rabies .
Because of its fondness for eggs, nestlings, corn, melons, and garbage, the raccoon is unwelcome in some areas. It is still hunted (often with hounds) and trapped for its fur and flesh. The North American raccoon played an important role in the North American fur industry during the 19th century. In the early decades of the 20th century, raccoon coats were de rigueur for the sporting set. As a result of the fur’s value, raccoons were introduced to France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Russia, where they have become a nuisance. In the latter portion of the 20th century, raccoons expanded their range northward in Canada, likely because of conversion of forest to agricultural land. Warmer temperatures and less-severe winters would enable raccoons to extend their range even farther.
The crab-eating raccoon (P. cancrivorus ) inhabits South America as far south as northern Argentina. It resembles the North American raccoon but has shorter, coarser fur. The other members of genus Procyon are not well known. Most are tropical and probably rare. They are the Barbados raccoon (P. gloveralleni ), the Tres Marias raccoon (P. insularis ), the Bahaman raccoon (P. maynardi ), the Guadeloupe raccoon (P. minor ), and the Cozumel raccoon (P. pygmaeus ). Raccoons belong to the family Procyonidae. along with the olingo s, the cacomistle. and the kinkajou .
1 any greyish-brown furry N. American nocturnal flesh-eating mammal of the genus Procyon, with a bushy tail and sharp snout.

Bandit-masked raccoons are a familiar sight just about everywhere, because they will eat just about anything. These ubiquitous mammals are found in forests, marshes, prairies, and even in cities. They are adaptable and use their dexterous front paws and long fingers to find and feast on a wide variety of fare.
In the natural world, raccoons snare a lot of their meals in the water. These nocturnal foragers use lightning-quick paws to grab crayfish, frogs, and other aquatic creatures. On land, they pluck mice and insects from their hiding places and raid nests for tasty eggs.
Raccoons also eat fruit and plants—including those grown in human gardens and farms. They will even open garbage cans to dine on the contents.
These ring-tailed animals are equally opportunistic when it comes to choosing a denning site. They may inhabit a tree hole, fallen log, or a house's attic. Females have one to seven cubs in early summer. The young raccoons often spend the first two months or so of their lives high in a tree hole. Later, mother and children move to the ground when the cubs begin to explore on their own.
Raccoons in the northern parts of their range gorge themselves in spring and summer to store up body fat. They then spend much of the winter asleep in a den. There are six other species of raccoons, in addition to the familiar northern (North American) raccoon. Most other species live on tropical islands.

Raccoon City was a small, industrialized city located in the Midwestern United States which was destroyed during the t-Virus outbreak in 1998.
At present, the area is cordoned off to the rest of the world by a U.S. government facility.
History
Edit
In the 1950s, what would become Raccoon City was a small rural town at the edge of Raccoon Forest. [1]
The region was heavily industrialized in the second half of the 20th century, supported predominantly by the investments of the fledgling Umbrella Pharmaceuticals. which would open up a chemical plant employing much of the town. From 1987 onwards, under the guidance of the Mayor Michael Warren. the city grew rapidly, transforming from a small mountainous community to an industrialized city. However, the city's expansion and modernization was accompanied by a spiraling crime rate. The Raccoon City Police Department (R.P.D) established the Special Tactics And Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S) in 1996 as a countermeasure to the wave of crime.
Arklay Mountains incidentEdit
Raccoon City seen from the RFD helicopter.
A series of bizarre cannibal homicides occurred in the forests of the Arklay Mountains north-west of the city, beginning in May 1998 [2] and continued through the following months. Victims were mostly hikers and campers who ventured into the forest. The bodies found were mauled by unknown creatures (possibly by cerberus. zombies or other unidentified creatures). The police were at a loss to explain or stop the phenomenon, blaming it on cult activity. Afterwards, the road leading into the Arklay Mountains was cordoned off by the Raccoon Police. and civilians were warned not to go into the forest or mountains.
On July 23, 1998, S.T.A.R.S was deployed to the area to investigate the Raccoon Forest. [3] The team was split into two, known as the Alpha team and the Bravo team. The Bravo team made a forced landing in the area due to mechanical problems, and the Alpha team was sent to rescue them. Of the twelve S.T.A.R.S. members and R.P.D backup pilot sent to the Arklay Mountains. only five returned alive, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Barry Burton, Rebecca Chambers, and Brad Vickers. They reported about the discovery of a mansion which the Umbrella Corporation used to conduct illegal biological weaponry experiments with the mutagenic "Tyrant virus " (t-Virus). The grounds were crawling with the results of that research, including zombies who were researchers of Umbrella that died and became reanimated flesh eating corpses. The outbreak was caused by Dr. James Marcus, the creator of the t-Virus. Marcus wanted revenge after he was betrayed by Oswell E. Spencer, one of the founders of Umbrella, along with Marcus and Edward Ashford. However, the mansion and all evidence had been destroyed from a self-destruct system, and due to Umbrella's influence on the city and the corrupt Chief of Police Brian Irons. who was under Umbrella's pay-roll, the survivors' claims were dismissed and no formal investigations were undertaken. Chief Irons formally disbanded S.T.A.R.S. which was replaced by the Raccoon S.W.A.T.
OutbreakEdit
The zombies in advance, overtaking the city in days (September 1998)
The U.S. Army in advance towards the city (September 25, 1998)
Another viral outbreak involving the t-Virus occurred two months later on Tuesday September 22, 1998 (exactly 61 days after the mansion incident that had occurred on the outskirts of the city), when Umbrella entered the laboratory beneath Raccoon City and attempted to retrieve a sample of the powerful G-Virus from William Birkin. one of its more reclusive researchers. [4] After he was shot multiple times, Birkin was left mortally injured and, knowing its regenerative capabilities, injected himself with a sample of the G-Virus that Umbrella successfully retrieved. [4] Unfortunately, its mutagenic properties overtook his humanity and transformed him into an unstoppable mutant killing machine. He destroyed the paramilitary team Umbrella Security Service (U.S.S) who had stolen the G-Virus from him, and in the process, vials containing the t-Virus were dropped, releasing it into the sewers. [4] The t-Virus was then carried by rats throughout the city, leading to a full-scale outbreak. [4] By September 24, the city was in total chaos, with most civilians having been infected and subsequently overtaken by the virus that soon fashioned them into undead zombies. [5] Officer Kevin Ryman and seven civilians who resided in J's Bar, namely Mark Wilkins, David King, Jim Chapman, George Hamilton, Alyssa Ashcroft, Yoko Suzuki, and Cindy Lennox, were forced to evacuate.
1998-09-26: The RPD's ill-fated last stand against the undead.
Recognizing an "incident ", Umbrella executives called for an evacuation of the city, placing high priorities on key, essential members. By dawn of September 25, the United States Army were called in to evacuate civilians and began setting up barricades around the city's perimeter, effectively enforcing a quarantine of the city and preventing people from entering. However, helicopters were still free to come and go. The military was ordered to only maintain the perimeter, and was not authorized to enter the city and assist the police. Firefighters of the Raccoon Fire Department including Gill and Danny were sent to put out the fires of the Apple Inn Hotel as well as the entire city. Regan Mallet and her daughter Lucy escaped Raccoon City by going through the city's forests.
To avoid mass panic, the rest of the nation was told that radioactive waste had been leaked throughout Raccoon City, forcing a quarantine. [6] The Raccoon City Police tried and failed to contain (and eliminate) the hordes of zombies created by the t-Virus, using barricades, heavy force and in some dire instances, explosives to destroy entire streets. [7]
The zombies infested the streets of the city (September 1998)
Matters were not helped by the actions of Police Chief Brian Irons. who descended into mania and attempted to trap officers and civilians within the police station. scattering weapons and ammunition around the building and cutting off all communications to the outside. [4] Soon, the police station was besieged on September 26. [4] The officers then made a last attempt to destroy the zombies in the streets near the Johnson National Bank on September 27, but failed when their roadblocks were overrun by hordes of zombies. [4] The survivors within the R.P.D's main precinct on Ennerdale Street held off the zombies for days until only three living officers remained: Chief Brian Irons , Marvin Branagh. an unnamed police officer and a news reporter, Ben Bertolucci. Meanwhile, the hospital staff including doctors Issac, Ethan, Howard, and nurses Cathy, and Elena of the Raccoon General Hospital tried to cure the infected patients, but they turned into zombies and killed almost the entire staff. Visitors of the Raccoon Zoo were attacked by the infected animals that escaped and trapped Zoo Keepers Patrick, Lloyd and Zoo Watchman, Austin Taylor. Insects and Alligators from the sewers came in contact with the virus and grew big. Mayor Michael Warren escaped from the city, abandoning his daughter. Umbrella also sent in Lt. Mikhail Victor and several of his Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service (U.B.C.S) platoons for search-and-rescue missions on the 26th and 27th, which ended disastrously for the survivors. [8] The supervisors of these squads such as Nikolai Zinoviev were also secretly tasked with gathering field data about Umbrella's bio-weapons as well as destroying any incriminating evidence. [8] Nikolai killed various U.B.C.S members including Tyrell Patrick and Ex-Umbrella Researcher, Greg Mueller. Two Delta Force units deployed into Raccoon City to secure the G-Virus and other key Umbrella chemicals were quickly annihilated by a pack of rogue Hunter ?s and a team of T-103s. respectively. By September 28, only a handful of U.B.C.S mercenaries were left alive, and would later help former S.T.A.R.S member Jill Valentine to escape. [8] Umbrella sent Nemesis T-Type to kill S.T.A.R.S members. Brad Vickers was killed, and Jill Valentine was infected with the t-Virus; she was later cured by U.B.C.S member Carlos Oliveira. Nemesis was defeated and Jill and Carlos were rescued by Barry Burton after he came back from taking his family to Canada.
By September 29, most of the city's populace had been annihilated by the monsters and bio-weapons released from Umbrella's laboratories, or had succumbed to the t-Virus and become zombies.
The military barricades surrounding the city had begun to fail in some places, allowing unwary visitors such as Leon Scott Kennedy and Claire Redfield to enter the city, and allowing some of the city's few survivors to escape. [4] The Mayor's daughter was killed by Chief Irons. William Birkin killed both Brian Irons, Ben Bertolucci and infected his daughter Sherry with the G-Virus and she was cured thanks to her mother, Annette. Albert Wesker sent Ada Wong who successfully collected the G-Virus. Leon and Claire defeated William Birkin and The lab underneath Raccoon City was destroyed by a self-destruct system. Before evacuating Linda, an Umbrella Researcher and Rodriguez, a U.S.S member went to get AT1521, a cure for the t-Virus while Kevin Ryman and the other survivors took some Daylight samples just in case for the infected that may have escaped the quarantined city.
DestructionEdit
A top-secret missile detonates above the city.
On the night of September 30, Raccoon City was in ruins and overrun with mutated monstrosities. The majority of its populace was dead, the R.P.D and S.W.A.T. completely annihilated. A U.S. Army Special Forces unit sent into the city were also massacred by Umbrella's B.O.W.s, and the U.S. government was faced with the escalating threat of the t-Virus and the possibility of Umbrella recovering the G-Virus. Confronted with the rapidly deteriorating situation, a Congressional Special Committee under the thumb of government official Derek C. Simmons (and seating Senator Ron Davis ) concluded that the "Sterilization Operation " was the best course of action and brought it to the President for approval. This order went forward on the evening of September 30 despite attempts by Umbrella agents to delay the voting.
The city was destroyed by an experimental non-nuclear missile at dawn on Thursday, October 1. The official report on the missile strike was heavily-classified to avoid implicating the U.S. government, as hoped (though the press and public believed the missile was nuclear). It was simply passed off that there was a dangerous virus leak in the city, and that the U.S had to destroy the city (with an estimated death toll by the press at 100,000) to prevent it spreading. The President resigned after this event, faced with public outrage at his decision to destroy the city.
What was left of Raccoon City and the surrounding area was searched and categorized thoroughly for any possible survivors and biohazard threats by the U.S. government in early October 1998. There were small traces of active "t" organisms found. The ruins of Raccoon City was declared a possible biohazard threat and became a highly classified, restricted area that only the U.S. government could enter. [9]
The area that used to be Raccoon City is gated off from the rest of the world, and the government built a classified research and testing facility. All that is known about this facility is that it was used for experiments and testing and it keeps a close watch for any trespassers or biohazard threats.
Of the 100,000 in the city at the time of such events, a handful of survivors managed to escape from the doomed city, some cutting it closer than others. The currently known survivors are: Jill Valentine, (S.T.A.R.S member), Carlos Oliveira, Arnold. (U.B.C.S members), Leon S. Kennedy, Kevin Ryman. Rita. Harry. (Police Officers), Claire Redfield, (Chris's sister), Ada Wong, (agent for one of umbrella's rival corporations), Sherry Birkin, (William Birkin's daughter), Gill. Danny. (Fire Fighters), HUNK, Rodriguez. (USS members), Linda. Yoko Suzuki. (Umbrella Researchers), George Hamilton. (Doctor) Jim Chapman. (Subway Employee), Alyssa Ashcroft. (News Reporter), Cindy Lennox. (Waitress), Mark Wilkins. (Security Guard), David King. (Plumber), Michael Warren, (Mayor of Raccoon City), Regan Mallet. and her daughter Lucy.
LegacyEdit
Despite the tragedy of Raccoon City, its destruction served as a warning to the world of the dangers of viral experimentation, and as a result new guidelines and safety precautions were put into place to prevent another such disaster from occurring. Global distrust in pharmaceutical companies grew due to the Umbrella Corporations illicit practices becoming public knowledge. Companies such as WilPharma Corporation and TRICELL came under intense scrutiny and were picketed by human rights organizations, whilst the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA) was formed by former members of Raccoon's S.T.A.R.S unit to combat the rise in bio-terrorism that followed Umbrella's downfall. Despite the measures, the city of Harvardville nearly became a third Raccoon City (the second Raccoon City was Sheena Island) following a t-Virus outbreak at the city's airport and at a WilPharma facility built within the city limits. However, the crisis was averted and the outbreak was quickly contained.
Hidden TruthEdit
The Raccoon City ruins.
Ex-Umbrella employees, the former President in office at that time, the military and Raccoon survivors are said to be the only people who know that the t-Virus ultimately caused Raccoon's destruction. In Resident Evil Outbreak . after Raccoon City is quarantined, a news report states that the city is suffering from a radioactive waste leak, a cover-up story. After the President allowed the city to be nuked, many accused Umbrella of starting the incident. When most of the world blamed Umbrella, the company fell. It was clearly confirmed that the radioactive waste story wasn't true and that somehow Umbrella was responsible, which led survivors and family members of dead citizens to start demanding the government release the truth for Raccoon's sterilization. Curtis Miller. whose wife and daughter died in Raccoon City, threatened WilPharma to release the truth so corporations like itself would fall before similar destruction occurred again. He injected the G-Virus into himself and became a monster, exposing the truth of the reasons Umbrella destroyed Raccoon. Only his sister, Angela Miller. discovered the truth. TRICELL took over WilPharma and conducted the same research and no one would ultimately know what really happened to Raccoon City.
In 2013 , Adam Benford. President of the United States, decided to publicly reveal the truth behind Raccoon City's destruction in the hopes of curbing the recent global bioterrorist attacks. but was himself infected and turned into a zombie before he could.
DemographicsEdit
The population of Raccoon City was over 100,000. [10] Figures regarding proportions of gender, age and ethnicity are unknown.
The vernacular language is English, although people of different ethnicity are found within the city but do not speak their respective native language(s).
EconomyEdit
Raccoon City as seen from the south (1998)
The economy of Raccoon City was largely dominated by the Umbrella Corporation and it can be assumed that most of the city's citizens were fairly affluent. The city's G.D.P remains unknown. Its police force and fire department were well-funded, with the police department possessing its own special task force. Also, there are plenty of small to medium-scale business within the city, and most of these are owned by its residents. Most of these businesses are located in Downtown.
Approximately 40% of the city's inhabitants were believed to be directly employed with Umbrella Corporation. working in its many legal businesses (pharmaceuticals, computing), however only a select few knew of its illegal activities in bio-engineering.
The Arklay mountains.
GeographyEdit
The precise location of Raccoon City within the U.S has never been clarified, other than that it is somewhere in the midwest.
The city sat at the foot of the Arklay mountains to the north, on a confluence between three rivers: the Marble ; Circular and Aimes.
The Marble river is the largest, and from which the city drew most of its drinking water. The Circular river ran through the city proper, dividing it into west and east. A dam was also built along one of the nearby rivers.
There are several noteworthy districts;
Edit
The city was roughly based on a grid system, with the main thoroughfares including:
For a full list of the streets in Raccoon City, see here.
The city had an extensively developed tram and subway system. designed by the Kite Brothers in 1969. The tram system serves largely uptown and the Cider district, with Raccoon Station acting as the central hub. The subway system was known to have six stops, although before the outbreak was at risk of closing due to decreasing passenger numbers.
Raccoon City was connected by train to its nearest neighbor Stoneville. a small town to the east.
GovernmentEdit
Raccoon City was believed to be run under an elected municipal government.
Mayor Michael Warren. elected in 1987. served for eleven years. [11] [12] Warren was the engineer responsible for the establishment of the cable car transportation system and also made contributions to the city's electrical system. In his campaign to modernize the city, he made a deal with the Umbrella Corporation, which provided funding for several of Warren's projects, including public utilities, welfare work, and law enforcement.
Unfortunately, dependence on Umbrella's funding meant the city council could be easily swayed to the company's demands. By early 1994. the city was effectively under corporate control.
DestructionEdit
Raccoon City has been destroyed differently throughout the series.
In Resident Evil 3: Nemesis . a single missile is seen detonating near Raccoon City Hall. The single warhead detonation can also be seen in Resident Evil: Degeneration . [13]
The photograph showing the four craters.
In Resident Evil Outbreak . three conventional cruise-missiles are seen striking the city. [14] A photograph in the epilogue shows a large, shallow crater dwarfing the other three. This large crater may suggest that the city was destroyed by three cruise missiles and a thermobaric missile. [9]
