Raccoons

It depends on how badly injured the cat is. Raccoons have been known to gang up on cats and carry them away to eat them; there is no probability of survival in that case. In other cases, cats have gotten away from raccoons with a few bites, and have survived with a few doses of antibiotics to stop the infection.

About the only decomposer a raccoon might intentionally eat would be a fungus, such as a mushroom. They primarily eat such things as earthworms, grubs, insects, crayfish, frogs, fish, snakes, lizards, mice, birds, bird and reptile eggs along with fruits, nuts and berries. Decomposers are bacteria and fungi.

You might try a wild animal rescue shelter.

However, you would need to first check what the laws are for your state/area. Some states will under NO circumstances allow you to own wildlife in a private setting. If your state does allow, then you should check for a reputable breeder. I live in PA, and here the only way you may own a raccoon is by purchasing it from a FDA approved, and Game Commission licenced wild life propagator.

Animal rescues are not going to hand over a baby raccoon. These are wild animals, and ones that have been rescued will either be raised and released, or if they are not able to be released they will be kept by a licenced handler to live out it's life. You may be able to volunteer at a rescue, but these places do not promote owning them as pets.

There is no such creature as a half duck and half beaver.

They do sell natural remedies such as sprays and bright lights that can deter raccoons, but there are no foolproof solutions. One of the best ideas is to clean up your yard as clean as you can, so they can find no specks of food, and to get metal, lockable trash cans that they can't break into (they are very smart). That, combined with some of the natural remedies, might help.

Cities provide the raccoon with everything it needs to survive with little effort on the part of the animal. Food is easily available in trash bins or from pet food left outside at night as well as from gardens and orchards. Shelter is easily found in urban areas as raccoons take advantage of abandoned buildings, attics, storm sewers and under homes in crawl spaces for dens. To the raccoon, the city is a paradise.

no... Kentucky being a hilbilly state is just a steryotype.. we arent illiterate...we don't all live in barns.. and we don't wear cowboy hats lol... i have never met a person in KY with an accent either the accents are mostly in Tennessee. Just because of our steryotype people think we eat beans and sell racoons.. SO NOT TRUE!... tell your friends lol

...i think ive made my point... :)

NEVER give a baby raccoon any form of human food, especially cow's milk, as it will kill the baby. Baby raccoons must only be given KMR - Kitten Milk Replacer -available in better pet shops and veterinary clinics. For a comprehensive guide to raccoon care, click on this link.

They will rip off the shingles to get into a home or attic.

No, definitely not! wolverines are much less common, they're bigger and more dangerous too

They are hunted for their fur primarily but some people hunt them for their meat also.

In a word, YES. Raccoons are much more formidable predators than most realize. But, they're lazy. I put out a cup of high quality dog food (30+ years training K9s and War Dogs) and fresh water at twilight and they prefer that to killing and eating our barn cats.

There is no such thing as a poisonous snake. There are, however, venomous snakes and a raccoon will eat them. A poison is something which must be ingested to kill. A venom must be injected to kill.

Raccoons are lone animals, so they are harder to track by predators. When they are confronted by a predator, they run and hide if they are able to.

No. Raccoons are placental mammals. The only egg-laying mammals, or monotremes, are platypuses and echidnas.

Raccoons do not migrate but they forage for food all year long unless the snow prevents then from hunting in winter. In that case, they remain in their dens and sleep until conditions improve. They do not hibernate, however.

Raccoons are found everywhere in Texas, including in the Chihuahuan Desert.

i think alligators

foxes wolves and owls eat raccoons

They normally care for their pups by nursing them till they are old enough to eat meat for food. they also care for them by protecting them against other dominant males and females in the area who would kill cubs. after 2 yrs of life they are turned out into the world to fend for themselves and to find a pack

Yes, raccoons are quite fond of corn, especially in the milk stage when it is tender, sweet and juicy. A group of raccoons can do considerable damage to a field of corn, especially sweet corn.

Far more raccoons die of being struck by a motor vehicle or by being shot by hunters than die of natural causes such as disease and predation. Now and then there is an outbreak in certain areas of a disease, such as distemper, that may kill off a large part of the raccoon population.

No, a raccoon has the same senses as most animals - sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. However, some of the raccoon's senses are enhanced. Their hearing is quite acute and they can hear earthworms and grubs digging underground. They, also, have very good sense of smell and touch.

Raccoons are found across much of southern Canada but not in Newfoundland.

water there water must be changed daily because they often urinate in it,food ( dog food,cat food,whole corn,fish,crawfish,egg yolks), a good shelter that is warm in the winter but yet cool in the summer,water proof, snow proof etc. pretty much the basics of any other pet.
