Like all other raccoon species, pygmy raccoons are polygynandrous. ( McFadden and Meiri, 2013 de Villa-Meza, et al., 2011) Their canine sizes vary greatly between the sexes, male canines have an average length of 10.8 mm, while female canines only average 9.9 mm. Likewise, their tail length is about 79% as long as the mainland species, males have an average tail length of 24.4 cm and females have an average tail length of 24.2 cm. Adult pygmy raccoons have a mean total head and body length of 75.5 cm, which is about 90% of the length of the mainland species. Adult male pygmy raccoons have an average weight of 3.58 ± 0.52 kg, which is about 11% heavier than the average female weight of 3.28 ± 0.18 kg. They weigh about 45% less and are about 17.8% smaller than the Central American subspecies of mainland raccoons, Procyon lotor shufeldti. Pygmy raccoons are the smallest members of genus Procyon. Their tails have a golden tone and are segmented by 6 to 7 rings of dark fur. They have thick masks of dark fur around their eyes, which is surrounded on all sides by contrasting white fur. Their fur is primarily buffy gray, with dark hairs interspersed. Pygmy raccoons are similar in appearance to northern raccoons ( Procyon lotor). Pygmy raccoons ( Procyon pygmaeus) are endemic to Cozumel, a 486 square km island that lies roughly 17.5 km off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
