The ringtail prefers to live in rocky habitats associated with water. These areas can include riparian canyons, caves, and mine shafts.

Life Span
In the wild a ringtail will live around 6-9 years. They live much longer in captivity.
Prey / Food
Ringtails are omnivores which means they will eat just about anything if it is the right size. Some of their food choices are fruit, insects, lizards, snakes, small mammals such as mice, woodrat’s, squirrels, as well as birds and bird eggs.

Ringtails mate in the spring. The gestation period is 45–50 days, there will be 2–4 in a litter and they will hunt for themselves after 4 months.
