Sometimes. We had a small pack of coyotes living in our cave but we scared them off and they haven't been back. I don't know where they moved off to and don't care as long as they're not in my cave.

Raccoons generally do not burrow but take advantage of burrows abandoned by other animals. They also use rock crevices, hollow trees, abandoned buildings, etc.
