Raccoons are present in communities because they are wild animals, and they are always looking for food. They go to neighbourhoods to garbage cans where people leave tracings of food that they didn't eat. If you see a raccoon in your backyard or something, don't scare the poor thing away! It's just looking for food. If you go outside and it runs at you, you run too. But if it runs away, it's a raccoon WITHOUT rabies, and a raccoon looking for food to feed him/herself, and their family. The raccoons steal the food, they have a black line across their eyes, and that why today, robbers wear a black mask to immitate raccoons. The raccoons didn't copy them!
