The largest wild raccoon seems to me a male shot in Michigan, who weighed in at 28.4 kg (62 lbs, 6 oz), with a runner up in Texas at 25.5 kg (56 lbs). Here's a book which mentions them.
As for the ranges on wikipedia, those are averages, not minimum/maximum. It's a range because average size varies by location and subspecies.
This exactly! I hate to press the point but like mentioned, the coons get HUGE up here in Michigan. They have a great natural habitat and live well. I don't WANT to know how big they get all the way in the Upper Peninsula, that place is like no mans land.
Did anyone else read on in the article though? It goes on to talk about how crazy dangerous and strong they can be... /shudder
