Raccoons are very smart, and they are also very mischievous. They are generally nocturnal, and they like to find new places to get food: they will steal it from a bird-feeder or if you leave cat or dog food outside, they will steal that too. I've seen raccoons wandering across the lawn, digging for insects, or seeking left-over bird seed or nuts. When not seeking food, raccoons will wander a particular territory. They like to climb, they like to explore, and they are very curious. They are generally not aggressive, and sometimes will travel with several other raccoons. Mothers will teach their babies to hunt for food and also show them where to find water to wash their hands (their skin requires moisture). But if you approach them, most raccoons will either run away, or they might see you as a threat and scratch at you.
Raccoons, especially young animals, play a variety of games with each other. I have watched them play a form of tag, Wrestling and even mud wrestling after a rain shower.
The raccoons are consumers
Young raccoons love to wrestle and play a form of tag.
One myth about raccoons is that they are mischievous animals that enjoy stealing and hoarding shiny objects. This myth likely stems from their natural curiosity and dexterous paws, which they use to manipulate objects.
Yes, but the conditions under which it will occur are rare. A mother raccoon will kill to protect her kits (pups).Yes if the other racoon is smaller sick or hurt then yes!T
No, raccoons have but one life.
Raccoons generally stay in their own territory.
No, birds and raccoons do not mix. Birds are one of the prey items of a raccoon.
27 raccoons are used just for one fur coat

Ro-pel is an excellent choice. It contains a bittering agent that when sprayed on trash cans and exposed food, causes the raccoons to reject their open meals in favor of another, much tastier, one.
it depends but if you do have raccoons you should move your garbage into your garage
Raccoons are not birds. Raccoons are mammals.
