What Is A Baby Raccoon Called? (Male & Female)

Apart from little cutie, what is a baby raccoon called? So many people would prefer to call baby raccoons names like baby trash pandas, masked baby bandits, teddy raccoons, and lots of other unofficial names. But does it mean that baby raccoons do not have a name?

Baby raccoons have names, but because everyone calls them their parents’ babies, their real names seem to be fading. Even in schools where children are supposed to learn their names, people still prefer to call them baby raccoons or any other name they deem fit for the little cuties.

There are two names that you can call a baby raccoon, the first one is a kit. We understand that so many animal babies are called kits. This is why we can’t blame anyone for calling baby raccoons whatever name they deem suitable. 

Other animal babies that lay claim to the name kit include baby skunks, baby foxes, baby rats, baby badgers, baby squirrels, and so many others. That notwithstanding, you will not be wrong to call a baby raccoon a kit. Because that is what they are called in any standard settings.

The second name that you can call a baby raccoon is a cub. The same cub you call a baby bear, fox, wolf, and even a baby lion. Baby raccoons have to share names with other young animals because they do not have any name that is peculiar to them. 

What Is A Group Of Baby Raccoons Called?

If you see a group of baby raccoons, What would you call them?

A group of baby raccoons are called litter. While we would have loved to call them names like a bunch of cuties because of their adorable sight.

We won’t do that because a group of baby raccoons has a name, just like groups of other young mammals. So the next time you see a mother raccoon and her babies, you can just call the baby raccoons a litter.  

What Is A Male Raccoon Called?

Again, raccoons have to share names with other animals here. Just like a male pig, a male raccoon is called a boar. Interesting, right?

One would think that since young male raccoons end up forming bachelor groups, they would end up with cool names. But a male raccoon is sharing a name with another animal that many people do not consider cool or cute. 

In our opinion, boar suits these little rascals. Because it brings to mind the touch of ruggedness in them as seen when they hunt. 

What Is A Female Raccoon Called?

A female raccoon is called a soar. While you may not agree with the name, you might find it comforting to know that you do not have to call cute baby raccoons piglets.

Only the adult male and female raccoons have to share names with pigs. The baby raccoons are exempted.
