they would if they could catch one, but squirrel would be a tough quarry for a raccoon and probably not worth the effort. There are much easier to catch prey for the raccon such as fish and frogs.
Actually the answer is YES!! I just came in to look it up myself because I couldn't believe my eyes!! Two raccoon's were in the tree in my backyard making an awful noise. As I got a flashlight I realized the raccoon were cornering a black squirrel and chasing it back and forth trying to catch it. They were unsuccessful tonight, but I looked on YouTube and the proof is there!! If they are successful they eat it!!
