Procyon lotor
Manuel Antonio is the atlas park where the Raccoon is recorded, with records gathering most thickly in Luxembourg, Belgium, Germany, the United States and Japan. There are about 26,000 open records for this mammal across 11 countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.
Records of Procyon lotor span every month of the year.
Each bar is the share of its 178 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Raccoon as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
