i encountered a racoon once, i fed him a twizzler. the little guy actually took it right out of my hand.
he plopped on his fat ass and ate it right in front of me, then stuck out his paw for more.

I was walking up my girlfriends dark fire escape on drunkin night and saw what I thought has a cat. I got up close enough and bent over to pet it while saying "here kitty kitty kitty" as it turned around like a zombie vampire with his hands out and fangs showing I realized it was a raccoon. I had to walk around the building and use the front door that night.

In Japan, raccoons have drums in their stomach. Swear.

"i went outside and at first i thought it was a fat cat but no it was a raccoon. first time i seen one."
The same thing happened to me, but with a possum
I have never seen one in my life, and I remember going downstairs to take the trash out at night, and I see something moving towards me in the bushes, and I didn't pay attention because I thought it was a cat, I put the trash on the can, and when I turn around I see this freaky thing looking at me, and I though oh my god, that rat is huge (and I sort have a fobia for rats) you can imagine me picking up my skirt running up stairs screaming like a little girl to my roomate
DUDE COME AND CHECK THE SIZE OF THIS RAT, ITS OUTSIDE!!!
so we go again, and this time I have a flashlight cause I wanted to see it better, and when I flahshed it, this "rat" made the same face you see in the photo, with evil iluminated eyes, man...
it scare the shit out of me, and they also make the most annoying noise ever...
then I was told, maaaaaaan... thats no rat, its a possum!
freaky shit

Do raccoons wash their food?
Many people wrongly believe raccoons "wash" their food. Others have stated that this behavior is only something observed with captive raccoons, related to their instinct to search in crevices between rocks in streams and creeks for crayfish and other goodies. Still others say they are not really "washing" but do this to moisten their food. (Despite what these people may have heard, raccoons DO have salivary glands.) And some people mistakenly think raccoons must be very clean animals because they wash their food. From my personal observations, all are wrong! Raccoons will put their food in water. True. However, they will do this even if the water is the same water they just went to the bathroom in. (Raccoons love going potty in water bowls - that's why my rehabs have a water bottle and a litter box .) I have observed my rehabs out in the woods. They will "wash" their food in the dirt. This has nothing to do with cleaning or moistening it or captive behavior. I believe it to be instinctive behavior. This activity increases their tactile senses. They can "feel" their food, and thereby learn to identify it through their highly developed senses of touch and smell. My rehabs eat from a communal bowl and, because they are used to this sharing, competition is almost non-existent and they may take the time to "wash" their food. They will also "wash" a treat they are handed if they are unfamiliar with it. However, when I am handing out a treat that they know and love, such as grapes or dog biscuits, competition is fierce and "washing" is extremely rare because the item can be stolen too easily. (Yes, raccoons are thiefs. An example: By the time I gave a third raccoon a grape, the first one had finished his and then proceeded to try and pry open that raccoon's mouth to rob his grape!) Observation: Most of all, in my opinion anyway, when they are not concerned with it being stolen, raccoons "wash" their food simply because they enjoy playing with it just like little kids!

i caught four of them in my kitchen once at 3 am. they had torn open a bag of dog food, spread it all over the floor and seemed to be having some kind of party in it
i always thought raccoons were like large cat-sized animals, but these things were like miniature fucking BEARS.
i managed to shoot one of them in the ass with an airsoft glock as it scrambled its way out the door
