I had a raccoon, I raised her since she was only a few months, with four others. I bottle fed her since I found her by the road with her dead mom and those babies were just squealing.. She would only come to me, and she wouldn't let anyone mess with me. She always made this sound of recognition when she saw me.. She would sleep with me.. She just loved pringles and roast beef.. I taught her how to swim and climb.. she climbed so high one day and the branch broke and I caught her.. I miss her
They are not related to the bear. Thats what people thought ages ago. They are in their own genus called Procyon. Meaning "before the dog" or "dog like"
We could probably domesticate them like the foxes in Russia if we wanted to. That one would probably be a good one to breed because it wasn't aggressive, showed curiosity, and could get close to people.
well i dont really know how it works with raccoon's but if a cat is out side with out seeing humans in the first weeks they will be wild for the rest of there life but if you take a pregnant wild cat and put him into a room and some one comes in a couple of time each day when the kittens where born the kittens would become tame and after the mother abandons them because of that they are to old can you have them as pets
1. I have known (personally) 2 people who have kept raccoons as pets. My grandfather, and my driver when I was deployed in Iraq. 2. They are social animals. They live in social groups. I have actually seen them traveling in small packs, myself. Thank you for your well-informed comment :P comment
apparently that raccoon was someones pet and it got out which would explain why it was out and about during the day. i raised one for two years. she loved to go outside and play during the day. ...cute video!
We have always had raccoons come to our yard We put out food for cats and they come at the end of the nite . One in particular keeps coming in my backyard...And looks like he wants to make friends
I just got a baby raccoon yesterday. Her and her brother were just sitting in the middle of the road, momma was no where to be found. But they're so adorable! (:
Lol my neiborhood raccoon came to the back of my porch and he came pretty close too. He usually comes ever single night, and tonight, I fed him food so he can fatten up for the winter. Lol he was pretty cute.
Just the cutest things. Raccoons are so cute but we used to have a colony of them in the 2 willow trees in my backyards and lets just say they werent the nicest. you couldnt even go into the backyard after nightfall cause they would take over.
I've learned that when pet raccoons get older they become more aggressive, especially the males. That's why you gotta love those foxes! I've held a baby foxes, pet adults and they are so friendly! (No they were never wild, though the adults came off a fur farm)
Yeah, I still have her. My step brother has her brother. Racoons are adorable I love them but mine is a handfull sometimes. >.< Awh, that really sucks. :c They make really good pets but make sure you have a LOT of spare time. Lol
i had a pet raccoon!!! her name was cookie. cuz that was her fav food, peanut butter cookies. lol. one night she came to the house, with five babies behind her !!!! never saw her again.... :'( i miss her. she was a sweetie
I hate it when people think Cute = Harmless. It won't be until this guy inevitably gets bitten that he'll get a real appreciation & respect for the difference between an animal hand-tamed from birth by a professional care-giver, and a slightly curious wild raccoon he found on his back deck that keeps coming around because he thinks it's cute and entices it to stick around and smile for the camera... This raccoon would probably bite his face if he ever got too close or made a sudden move.
I suspect this little guy was hoping for a little snack. I've never understood why people people persecute these creatures so relentlessly. Just about everyone I know in my area kills them on sight. They have never hurt me, my family, or my pets. I leave them alone and enjoy them each time I see them. Thanks for sharing and for caring!
Pretty much what I was gonna say. Only 3 REAL possible reasons for a raccoon to be that comfortable around people and out in the day time: Rabies, was raised by a human (usually cause abandoned or orphaned at birth), or was used to people cause someone took care of it. I knew a guy who hand fed a mother squirrel but took like 3 months to get her to be that comfortable with him.
we had 3 raccoons come over this summer. each Wednesday, when my friend, my cousin, my brother and i were swimming. they were very cute, ate bread right out of my moms hand. after a while, one of them went missing, then all of them left. we named them jack, fuzzball, and Elmo. (don't ask why we chose Elmo) before they left, we would put peanuts , bread, and bananas out, we had put a kiddie pool out so they could swim, we called critter control, but no rabies. i loved them very much
how did you get so close to him without him running off and getting scared.....he looked friendly and seemed curious.....hes clearly one of the good calm ones
DucatiQueen thinks that everyone has to live their lives with sticks up their butts and that will be the best example for humanity. I bet you never do anything wrong. Watch out, you might set a bad example because you know, everyone else will mimic your behavior because you exist solely to show others how to live. Great advice, great thinking. Great job!
Just because a raccoon is out during the day does NOT mean they are rabid. Please take the time to research your facts before you immediately assume something. Also, did anyone consider the possibility that this was once a raccoon raised by humans that was released when he became to destructive? This happens all too often, and it's sad. This is the end result, a raccoon that goes to people because it's learned that's where the food is, then people assume its rabid and kill him. Pshhh!
My grandpa had a pet raccoon he took in after it's mother abandoned it. I have a picture of him in his uniform with it the day he returned home after WWII
As cute as it is, this raccoon isn't acting normally. Especially the fact that it's active in clear dailylight. Most likely has rabies, but I guess that it could be used to humans too. But I'd be making sure before you get too close again.
You're full of it. My grandma had a pet raccoon named Coo Coo in her house when I was a kid. A very clean and friendly pet. It was saved and brought home to grandma by my uncle when loggers cut down the hollow tree they lived in and killed the family. Made a great pet for years.
I had a bottle of mountain dew and only a bit was left and I put it in the recycling bin two raccoons came and one got my bottle and was drinking from the puddle, my three black cats watched but didn't do anything, the raccoons went on their way after getting at a pizza box, no kitty's were harmed either.
"You're the cutest little guy I've ever see- WHOA GETTING TOO CLOSE, BUDDY, GETTING TOO CLOSE!"

I'm not sure if it would be called tame more than curious. Never the less, it is really cute. =]
I know I'm over 10 years late, but I hand fed a wild racoon in downtown San Fransico and I will never forget it.
I would love to hand feed a raccoon too!
I had a raccoon when I was younger that would let me pet it, but if my parents would come near it the raccoon would just hiss and growl at them.
"where're you going?"
Raccoon: "Clearly running away from you"
He's so fluffy! If he weren't a wild animal I'd hug him
I'd risk it and give him a big ol smooch
I love how he acts all shy :3 with the back and forth movement
Now this is what I call quality content 🗿

"awww. Your so cute. Come he..."
"growl *jumps*"
"OH MY GOD IT'S EATING MY FACE!"
🤣🤣
What if Raccoons aren't hostile animals? What if they're just very shy, and retort to your sudden actions with hostility?
We could probably domesticate them like the foxes in Russia if we wanted to. That one would probably be a good one to breed because it wasn't aggressive, showed curiosity, and could get close to people.

He's a real shy cutie, but be very careful--they can still attack you even if they seem friendly most of the time.
" aww your the cutest lil buddy ive ever..WOAH GETTIN TO CLOSE BUDDY, GETTIN TOO CLOSE!!"
1. I have known (personally) 2 people who have kept raccoons as pets. My grandfather, and my driver when I was deployed in Iraq.
2. They are social animals. They live in social groups. I have actually seen them traveling in small packs, myself.
Thank you for your well-informed comment :P comment
Adorable how intrigued it was by this dude and his camera.
"you are so cute you are the cutest little buddy i have ever seen" - so good
Aw he is really adorable. With a sad & sweet face.
awww he's the cutest and most curious little raccoon i've ever seen
Tame implies that you've had it for some time and trained it, but in this video it seems like you're seeing this racoon for the first time.
awww this is adorable. I especially like when u talk to him lol!
@allissaloire I'll give you that. They're definitely not domesticated and need to be shown respect as such.
"I swear I wasn't eating your flowers. -Runs away-"
apparently that raccoon was someones pet and it got out which would explain why it was out and about during the day. i raised one for two years. she loved to go outside and play during the day. ...cute video!
racoons are so human. in the way they act. they're like mini adult toddlers.
Aww he is soo cute!
I have an old, blind raccoon living under my porch...
We have always had raccoons come to our yard
We put out food for cats and they come at the end of the nite . One in particular keeps coming in my backyard...And looks like he wants to make friends
I just got a baby raccoon yesterday. Her and her brother were just sitting in the middle of the road, momma was no where to be found. But they're so adorable! (:
That baby talking is as adorable as the raccoon.
hes so curious and afraid .-. but hes amazingly adorable !
I like how so many of the animal vids I come across always have a Pokemon reference as the top comment. XD With that said, that raccoon is adorable.
Guy- "What should I call ya? What should I call ya? What should I call ya?"
Raccoon-"Call me Ishmael!"
Lol my neiborhood raccoon came to the back of my porch and he came pretty close too. He usually comes ever single night, and tonight, I fed him food so he can fatten up for the winter. Lol he was pretty cute.
Liver Flukes, Raccoon Round Worms, and Rabies, Oh My!
Just a few of the wonderful ailments you can catch from Raccoons.
Just the cutest things. Raccoons are so cute but we used to have a colony of them in the 2 willow trees in my backyards and lets just say they werent the nicest. you couldnt even go into the backyard after nightfall cause they would take over.
13 years ago....
R.I.P Mr Racoon 🙏
it's like that commercial, here kitty kitty kitty, a raccoon walks in the door, ah, there you are
If you feed a raccoon, they tell all their many friends and then they all come hang out on your porch.
I think their is a common thread of curiosity among many mammals, and every now and then it overrides our fear of the unknown.
This is so adorable i don't even mind the rabies, i need one of these as a pet.
I've learned that when pet raccoons get older they become more aggressive, especially the males. That's why you gotta love those foxes! I've held a baby foxes, pet adults and they are so friendly! (No they were never wild, though the adults came off a fur farm)
this one is really cute! Just like a little bear. Hope he still around you.
Yeah, I still have her. My step brother has her brother.
Racoons are adorable I love them but mine is a handfull sometimes. >.<
Awh, that really sucks. :c They make really good pets but make sure you have a LOT of spare time. Lol
i had a pet raccoon!!! her name was cookie. cuz that was her fav food, peanut butter cookies. lol. one night she came to the house, with five babies behind her
!!!! never saw her again.... :'( i miss her. she was a sweetie
Wow! Someone on You Tube with a brain! You are a rare and wonderful person! Love those little clowns of nature
!
he's so cute with his round little nose and his chubby, fluffy body xD
They are so loving I had 1 DAISY . FOR many years . She followed me everywhere. And slepted with me . Loved the kids too. They are sweet
I think the reason he is skeptical is because he's not sure what the camera is.
theyre cute and all, but man, they mean business when they go into fight mode... i wouldnt mess with em! lol
My fave animal is totes a raccoon I have a lot of dolls,posters,clothing, and I have so very much in my backyard
haha so cute! i saw one last week wandering around in my neighborhood.
its so big! i was so scared!
Those cutie pies are RELATED TO BEARS, which are also CUTIE PIES but ferocious. :)))
I hate it when people think Cute = Harmless.

I just LOVE that face!

sbenard1 They probably farmers, they destroy there crops and cause them tons of money. One things for sure ,there is no shortage of them.

OMG WHAT A CUTE PUPPY! Jk. That raccoon is so cute
I love how they look like they are wearing fizzy pants on their arms :3

that is sooo cute i love raccoons!
Wow. That's amazing. Bet that was quite an awesome experience you've had. Just imagine if they were all that friendly and easy to pet?
The raccoon is clearly scared of the human, but he's also really curious.
He poses no real threat unless you try to hurt him.
I think it's funny that everyone is like "Nothing messes with a raccoon.. Yea Something does.. My car.
real tamed huh? "not too cose buddy, not too close" .. yeah, i'm really convinced
how did you get so close to him without him running off and getting scared.....he looked friendly and seemed curious.....hes clearly one of the good calm ones
It's not a very good sign when you see a wild raccoon out during the day time.
even tho this is a wild raccoon this one seems really friendly lol
would have been awesome if right after he says the raccoon is too cute the raccoon went into murder mode
it's soo cute!!! i want a racoon as a pet
awwwwww!! i live in australia and know that there dangoures..... but can u get them as pets..... i want one
He looks like a "Sniffles" ...I'm gonna regret opening my mouth aren't I?
it's usually a good idea to corner a feral racoon

thats the cutest thing i have ever seen !!!!
I love raccoons they are the best ever
You should've caught him and made him your attack raccoon! =D
That's what I want, a little mammal capable of doing some damage if summoned. xD
It's very tame until you put it in your fridge..

My grandpa had a pet raccoon he took in after it's mother abandoned it. I have a picture of him in his uniform with it the day he returned home after WWII
Not to mention unusually friendly for a wild raccoon! Of course, I wouldn't recomend getting too close to them.
You Rock! I LOVE them too!
hahaha cute paws... it looks like it was wearing harem pants :p
I think thats cool, and animals are smart, so unless you really ask for it their not going to hurt you :)
That guy was cute tho ^^ so curious
What a cool raccoon!! What did he taste like??!!!!
CUTE.... i would feed it so it comes back every day
front legs looks like its wearing fluffy pjamas
That's how cats did it,and look where it got them!
As cute as it is, this raccoon isn't acting normally. Especially the fact that it's active in clear dailylight. Most likely has rabies, but I guess that it could be used to humans too. But I'd be making sure before you get too close again.

"What shall i call you?"
How about giving it a blue shirt and hat and name it Sly xD
Awww its too cute for words!
I had a bottle of mountain dew and only a bit was left and I put it in the recycling bin two raccoons came and one got my bottle and was drinking from the puddle, my three black cats watched but didn't do anything, the raccoons went on their way after getting at a pizza box, no kitty's were harmed either.
That is a really cute raccoon. x3
cute racoon! i wish i had one for a pet...
I have petted a wild baby raccoon before. they are sooo soft!
the good old days of youtube...
that thing is pretty much challenging you to a fight
