Raccoon females typically have litters of 4 cubs, which they nurse for about 70 days. The cubs' eyes open at 18—24 days and they begin exploring the world outside the den when they are 9—10 weeks old. Although the pups begin to forage and hunt with the mother within two months, she will care for them for almost a year.
