Yes there are red raccoons. Our family lives in the country, we have chickens. We close the door every night and in the morning it would be open and we would have a dead chicken. This kept going on for at least 2 weeks but we could never find out what it was. Finally one night my daughter came down stairs and said she heard the chickens clucking, I woke my husband up and he went to check it out. Again the door was open, he had taken our dogs with him to check it out. Apparently the dogs scared it, because he dropped his chicken climbing up a tree. He trapped it. At first he thought it was a red fox because of the color, but it wasn't. It had the mask of a raccoon but it had no tail. Weird huh!
