It is not unusual for raccoons to be abroad during daytime, especially when they are taking advantage of a food source. However, one should not approach a raccoon at any time, day or night, to avoid a possible confrontation.

Only raccoons whose brain has been injured by rabies or distemper might attack in rare instances. The best advice is to never approach raccoons or any wildlife and do no attempt to feed them.
