Raccoons are very smart, and they are also very mischievous. They are generally nocturnal, and they like to find new places to get food: they will steal it from a bird-feeder or if you leave cat or dog food outside, they will steal that too. I've seen raccoons wandering across the lawn, digging for insects, or seeking left-over bird seed or nuts. When not seeking food, raccoons will wander a particular territory. They like to climb, they like to explore, and they are very curious. They are generally not aggressive, and sometimes will travel with several other raccoons. Mothers will teach their babies to hunt for food and also show them where to find water to wash their hands (their skin requires moisture). But if you approach them, most raccoons will either run away, or they might see you as a threat and scratch at you.
Young raccoons, called kits, roll around and play fight.
Young raccoons will play together but adult wild raccoons generally do not play with each other.
Yes, raccoons, especially the young, play all the time with each other.
Raccoons, especially young animals, play a variety of games with each other. I have watched them play a form of tag, Wrestling and even mud wrestling after a rain shower.

The best known myth is that raccoons wash their food. They do not. Another myth is that raccoons do not have salivary glands. They do. Another is that if a raccoon is out during the day, it has rabies. That is not necessarily true as raccoons frequently come out during the day for a variety of reasons.
Yes, but the conditions under which it will occur are rare. A mother raccoon will kill to protect her kits (pups).Yes if the other racoon is smaller sick or hurt then yes!T
No, raccoons have but one life.
Raccoons generally stay in their own territory.
No, birds and raccoons do not mix. Birds are one of the prey items of a raccoon.
27 raccoons are used just for one fur coat
GEt another one!
Ro-pel is an excellent choice. It contains a bittering agent that when sprayed on trash cans and exposed food, causes the raccoons to reject their open meals in favor of another, much tastier, one.
It is better to have at least 2 raccoons together in captivity. They will play with each other and be much less bored.
it depends but if you do have raccoons you should move your garbage into your garage
