Mans posted:i live in a country with no racoons so i really don't know much about them but they seem like the cutest things i've ever saw Some seem to be used to humans, but they can be very vicious. I used to volunteer at a children's museum with rescued wildlife (that couldn't survive outside for whatever reason) in exhibits. The raccoon was one of the only animals we couldn't take out his enclosure ourselves. I liked him, though. One of the professional keepers would put him in a cat carrier in the hallway so we could clean out his exhibit, and one day, I kept hearing this weird shuffling noise coming from the hall behind me while I was cleaning. Every time I would look out, the noise stopped and I didn't see anything amiss, and the raccoon was still in his carrier, its latch was closed, etc. I was pretty sure it was him making the noise though. The next time I heard it, I tried to sneak up to the enclosure's door so he wouldn't hear me and stop. Sure enough, it was him--rocking back and forth in the carrier so the whole thing was shimmying down the hallway. There were two sets of doors between him and the outside, and I'm not sure what he was going to do once he got out there, still inside a box. Whenever I remember that, have this mental image of him scooting through the forest in his carrier, grabbing things through the little bars.
