No, unsually it means that it is a young raccoon and he is working hard at finding food and territorty. He has been run away from his home and family and now out on his own. He has to work extra hard to find enough food and stay on the move because he hasn't marked out his own territorty yet. So, he isn't really safe anywhere yet. If you look closely they are usually smaller and have thinner hair. They are the teenager group and it's a hard time for them. The adults will attack them and run them off their territorty, so they come out early and then go into hiding when it gets dark and the grown ups come out.
it means it has the rabies usually or has a mind sickness

∙ 11y agoThe main reasons for seeing a skunk during the day is that is searching for food that it could not search for at night. This can be due to a mother tending to her babies during the night, or other predators that have been preventing the skunk to search for food during the evenings.

Do skunks seep during the day?
Yes, skunks are nocturnal (technically they are crepuscular, meaning they come out at dawn and dusk ), meaning they do sleep during the day. The majority of skunks that you can see during the day are hungry mothers who have reversed eating habits. Most people think that skunks do not like light, but actually, they do not mind it. It is just that bugs are more prone to be vulnerable during the night.

If a raccoon is out in the day does it have rabies?
No, they often come out during the day seeking a new shelter if something happened to their home, or if they are greatly in need of water. True possums, which are those found in Australia, do not have rabies as there is no rabies in Australia. Opossums of North America, a quite different animal, have body temperatures that are generally too low to harbour the rabies virus, although there are always exceptions. Note that when threatened, opossums will often "play possum" mimicking dead or sick animals - to the point of mimicking the appearance of having rabies - even if they are not infected. Since they are primarily nocturnal, when people encounter them during the day the opossum is more likely to feel threatened and thus act sick. This may be one of the reasons that people think the possums they see during the day are infected with rabies.
