Would a raccoon eat a duck?

Yes, they will try. I've had a raccoon attack two ducks. The raccoon bit the back of the neck.

How do you tell if a raccoon is rabid?

All Raccoons carry rabies in their feces (poo), but not all of them are actually infected with the disease and not all that have the disease are foaming at the mouth. So, if a Raccoon is acting strangely, back away slowly and call your local "Animal Hospital." All raccoons do not carry rabies, this is complete myth. You can suspect rabies if a raccoon seems unafraid of humans, is stumbling around, maybe walking in circles, or even falling over having seizures. They may be foaming at the mouth, or out in the daytime, but not all animals with rabies foam at the mouth, and not every raccoon you see in the daylight has rabies. Your best bet is to call your local wildlife control or even your local police station, and report your sighting, they will know who to call for the problem. Never try to approach a wild animal. Do not call an animal hospital, they have nothing to do with rabid wildlife

How do raccoons defend themselves?

To defend itself, a raccoon lowers it's head to the ground and hunches it's back to the air and hisses. either that or it stands up on it's hind legs and snarls to make itself look big. Mothers will fight with the enemy until her babies are safe. when they are, she just walks away! but trust me, you do not want to get into a fight with a raccoon. you'll surely loose! ************* Indeed, few animals will willingly tangle with a raccoon. The risk of injury is to great.

To prevent a raccoon from returning, it's generally recommended to relocate it at least 10 miles away from its original territory.
