Raccoons live in trees and in the ground. Some raccoons live alone but some live with their families or in groups. They live in North and South America. They mostly live in dens in the ground.

Answer 2- Raccoons do not get stuck in trees, they are avid climbers and can climb down a tree face first. The only reason it isn't coming down, is probly because you wont leave the area long enough. It feels threatened, that's why it seems stuck. Once everyone leaves it alone, it will get out of the tree.

Raccoons will take advantage of a hollow tree to use as a den. However, they do not build 'nests' in trees such as a bird would build. They do climb trees for protection, however. They more frequently build a den at or near ground level.

Yes, they can climb down head first, so they can't get stuck in a tree.

Raccoons are impressive climbers so it is unlikely that an experienced and healthy adult animal would fall from a tree. It is not an impossibility, however.

No, raccoons take advantage of existing shelters such as abandoned animal burrows, hollow trees, rock crevices, culverts, storm sewers, abandoned buildings, attics, etc.

No, however, they may den in hollow trees. They also climb trees for protection from predators. Usually, raccoons live in dens at or below ground level.
