Racoon's have rabies as do skunks and etc. beware! Do not touch him or get too close. Try to put a box or wire cage over him and call animal control. (If you can not do this safely , just make the call. )Any time a grown coon comes up to you in daylight something is very wrong, coons are nocturnal and do not spend much time in the daylight.I found a cool racoon that seems friendly in my back yard, can i tame it and keep it as a pet?
you need to call the wildlife dept. to come out to help it
i am not sure you really want to try to tame him,they can fight like crazy i have watched them when racoon hunting with coon hounds they will back up and thrash two or three hounds at a time,they will drowned a hound if they get into the water with them if it sick i wouldnt try to mess with it much it may have rabies or some disease
LOL u funni
Leave it alone!!!!!!! Use your head!!!!! This is a wild animal you are talking about. Have you ever heard of rabies?! These animals are one of the biggest carriers of this disease. They are a beautiful ';wild'; animal! However, best to leave in nature! Love from a far. :)
It has rabies. dont touch it, either leave it or call animal control and get them to remove it. It could be dangerous and if it bites you it will make you ill.
Let it go! It's a wild animal and cannot be tamed. It may have diseases, and just the fact that it ';seems friendly'; indicates it is probably sick! Plus, it may be illegal to keep in your area.
No way dude....you're gonna get the rabies!!!!
It would be better if you call someone to help it then let it go to the wild. Good Luck!
NOOO!!! Raccoons can transfer many diseases to humans---INCLUDING RABIES. If he is so friendly, he already MIGHT be rabid!!!





Call your local wildlife agency, immediately.
I see where you got your screen name!!! Stay as far away as possible!!!!! White foam = NO GOOD!!! Bad. Very bad!
I wouldnt touch it. When animals get rabies, they will act wierd. like get very friendly or very mean. this animal may just be getting friendly. but if you get bit by it you are in trouble. so I would just stay away. Hope that helps
I don't think that is a good idea at all. raccoons can seem really cute and fluffy, but under that, they are really mean. Raccoons have rabis, and they could bite you and really hurt you. Raccoons are born, and raised in the wild and thats the way they like it and I don't think he would like to live indoors. remember that possessing a wild animal is against the law, too and you could be put to jail.
