If you corner a wild 'coon it'll tear you up. Otherwise, they just want to get away. All bets are off if it is rabid.
All coons are viscious, especially when they are cornered. But then again they are @coons.

∙ 8y agoA healthy raccoon is not vicious unless cornered with no escape. They much prefer to avoid confrontations with humans. However, if they are cornered or someone is trying to capture a raccoon, do expect a fight. They have sharp teeth and claws and will use them in a confrontation.

∙ 15y agono most racoons are not rabid they must be bit by an animal with rabies to become rabid!

∙ 14y agoI believe that in general raccoons can be very friendly, but if they feel that they are threatened or do not like you they will become extremely mean and aggressive towards you.

Are raccoons and opossums rabid?
Raccoons can carry rabies but opossums no. The chance of rabies in an opossum is EXTREMELY RARE. This may have something to do with the opossum's low body temperature (94-97º F) making it difficult for the virus to survive in an opossum's body.
When raccoons are seen out in the day time are they rabid?
Maybe, although it could just be searching for a new home/a mate/food, and it could just as easily have been disturbed while asleep by any number of things. Rabies is a possibility, but the above are FAR more likely. And don't believe you have to kill it to find out if it is rabid- you can just tranquilise it and a vet can test its' saliva to see if it is rabid or not, among other humane rabies tests. If it is frothing at the mouth THAT isn't a very likely sign of rabies either, it's most likely dehydration or distemper.
