It depends on how the raccoons live and where. On average raccoons live from 2-5 years (in regular wildlife) and in a wildlife reserve and animal sanctuary up to 15 years of age! Adult raccoons can weigh anywhere from 8 to 20 pounds.

Raccoons typically live 2-3 years in the wild, but can live up to 20 years in captivity. They can grow up to 23-37 inches in length and weigh between 8-20 pounds, with males usually being larger than females.

The weight of a raccoon can range from 2 to 14 kilograms (4 to 30 lb), but is usually between 3.5 and 9 kilograms (8 and 20 lb). The largest recorded wild raccoon weighed 28.4 kg (62.6 lb) and measured 140 cm (55 in) in total length. That is about triple the average weight of an adult raccoon.

Raccoons are about the size of a small dog. They will get a little bigger than a regular sized cat.
