What is a group of raccoons called?

A group of raccoons is known as a nursery or a gaze. These social animals are often found living in groups, known as a nursery, which typically consists of a mother raccoon and her offspring. However, adult raccoons may also form temporary social groups known as a gaze when foraging or mating. Raccoons are highly adaptable and intelligent animals that are known for their dexterous paws and masked faces. They are primarily nocturnal and are opportunistic omnivores, feeding on a variety of foods including fruits, nuts, insects, small mammals, and even human garbage. In urban areas, raccoons have become accustomed to living alongside humans, often raiding garbage cans and causing minor nuisances. Despite being considered a nuisance by some, raccoons play an important role in their ecosystems by helping to control insect and small mammal populations.
