Love Me!
Just because raccoons can be incredibly friendly doesn’t mean everyone wants to be their friend. And just like raccoons can feel scared and threatened by us, we can feel threatened by them. While raccoons can by nice and friendly, they can also be very unexpected, eccentric, and make sudden moves.
This little girl experienced these traits firsthand when a raccoon charged at her during a family barbecue. Poor girl. Even if he was trying to be friendly and introduce himself, and he didn’t mean to scare her, she must’ve been pretty frightened. We don’t blame her. She probably has a complicated relationship with raccoons since that day.
