Do raccoons eat raccoons

Answer 1

Yes, foxes are known to eat all kinds of owls, mainly eggs, chicks, and smaller owls. Sometimes if a big owl is eating large prey on the ground, a fox will sneak up and snatch the bird as it's own prey. But big owls, such as the Great Horned Owl or Eagle Owl, have been known to kill and feast upon foxes. Barn Owls and other medium-sized species will only kill and eat the occasional fox kit if they are starving and have no other food.

Answer 2

A healthy raccoon is unlikely to attack an adult fox; the exception would be a mother "coon" defending her babies from a predating fox. A raccoon might, however, attempt to kill and eat fox kits, if it could catch them.

Normally, raccoons in the wild eats berries, roots, nuts and other vegetation, but will also prey on small birds, worms, grubs, insects, and small fish and crustaceans. They will also eat carrion.
