Do raccoons kill squirrels

Answer 1

Yes! I just had a silent killing coon sneak in through the fence and climb a tree and kill the mother which had defended her young. Only one baby pinky survived out of three. This coon is very stealthy and quiet when moving through vegetation and trees. It came last night too. It came five days in a row. Now we have no more squirrels to feed and no future ones either. And I even think the coon used the babies to bait the mother. Very evil indeed.

Answer 2

Yes, raccoons are known to occasionally hunt and kill squirrels for food, especially when other food sources are scarce. However, this behavior is not common and raccoons typically rely on a diet that consists of fruits, nuts, insects, and small animals.

Answer 3

Squirrels are fast and would be difficult for a raccoon to capture. However, a raccoon will definitely take baby squirrels from a nest.

Answer 4

Raccoons would find it difficult to catch an adult squirrel. However, a nest of baby squirrels would make a quick and easy meal.
