We saw a young racoon tooling around in someone's front yard today... just wandering and checking stuff out, picking stuff up, dropping it, walked up to about 10 feet away from us, and looked at us. Sat there on it's back legs and butt, front paws in the air, and sniffed towards us for a couple minutes, before turning and wandering off to move some rocks.
It certainly acted curious about us, as well as its surroundings.
Wait! Aren't racoons nocturnal?!
*GASPS*
MAYBE IT HAD RABIES!
*RUNS AROUND SCREAMING ABOUT RABID RACOONS!*
