Should be interesting. I find them very curious creatures. I've only ever had to deal with one that was so agressive he ate through the net and lunged. The rest just normally looked at me with blinky eyes and a look of where are we going? To clarify why I was handling, I patrolled for the SPCA so needed to handle them in certain cases. Otherwise in my opinion they got their first by our doing so let them be!

I love them
Any thing that can survive no actually thrive living along side humans , as a pretty darn, resourceful and intelligent IMO!!
Yes they can be trouble sometimes, but most of the time it's the humans fault!! So many people don't secure garbage and compost properly , or they don't maintain thier homes properly so the crafty little critter can't get in

I have had some pretty funny phone calls at my old job about this thing that looks kind of like a cat but is bigger and ringed tail.. what is it and why is it still sleeping on my balcony, come get rid of it... I normally have to put the call on hold, erupt giggling, compose myself and explain politely what a raccoon is and that it will leave at dusk unless it is injured then call me back and I will come!
