House cats are not native wildlife and should not be allowed to roam freely. It is not good for the environment and is cruel to the cat. That's why they are called "house" cats. While raccoons rarely will attack a cat, it does happen. Cats can also be infected with rabies, distemper and other diseases by raccoons.
I wouldn't chance it, being that there's too many differences in instincts between a raccoon and a ferret
No, raccoons look on squirrels as potential meals, not as playmates.
a raccoon a mouse a deer a opossum a ferret most rodents
Squirrel, raccoon, ferret, those big fluffy things.. uh i dunno what those are called though
The raccoon does not have opposable thumbs, and in fact, their front paws do not look human, or even primate. They are similar in shape to a weasel or ferret .
A ferret has no survival mechanisms.They have been domesticated so long and have lost any ability to survive on it's own and have no inherent fear of other animals A survival mechanism is anything that helps an organism elude capture by predators. If a ferret was in the back yard and was attacked by a raccoon, it would use it's sharp teeth to ward off the raccoon. More info on survival mechanisms can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_mechanism
Saw a adolescent raccoon and opposum this morning in the parking lot behind a vehicle together. Thought they were kittens until I pulled up to the car. Both scurried under the vehicle and "hid". Very obvious was a young raccoon and young opposum. I guess they can at least coexist in a friendly manner.
That is the correct spelling of the word "coexist".
The two species have learned to coexist peacefully in the same habitat.
Sounds like a cat. Could be a raccoon, but a raccoon is likely to finish the meal. A fog might, but is likely to tear up the rest of the carcass. A ferret or mink would have carried it back to its nest. So, a cat is the most likely suspect.
Different social groups must learn to coexist.
The noun forms of the verb to coexist are coexistence and the gerund, coexisting.
Coexist is pronounced as "koh-ig-zist."
A Ferret kit is a baby Ferret.
