No, a raccoon has the same senses as most animals - sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. However, some of the raccoon's senses are enhanced. Their hearing is quite acute and they can hear earthworms and grubs digging underground. They, also, have very good sense of smell and touch.

The special thing about their eyes is that they can see in both night and day. The raccoon is primarily a nocturnal animal. The raccoon's eyes have a little mirror in the back of the eye. The light that comes during the night is absorbed by the raccoons eyes. Some light doesn't get absorbed. The mirror reflects the little light that doesn't get absorbed. When the light gets reflected the raccoons eyes have another chance to absorb it.

Yes, raccoons can see but their vision is the poorest of their senses. They have excellent senses of smell, hearing, taste and touch and only fair vision.
