Zombie raccoon? by eudora

Zombie raccoon?

This raccoon has been hanging out on our deck for months, but lately she has been acting strange. Raccoons are often pests, but recently I read about zombie raccoons in Chicago, raccoons infected with distemper who are a danger to pets. I may have to call animal control. The saddest part of this story is that our area has increasing numbers of coyotes, foxes and other animals whose habitat has been destroyed by development, leaving the animals no where to go but populated areas.
Great capture. To bad that it has this issue

What a beautiful little face - but he looks so sad. I hope it isn’t as bad as it looks. Poor little guy... ☹️

Raccoons are nocturnal and shouldn't be active during the day. so yes, I wouldn't go close to one.

He is so cute that it would be a pity to see him leave. Sadly humans are destroying the natural habitat all over the world.

Ditto to what Bruni said- if you're seeing her/him during the day, something is not right. It certainly is a cute shot though.

Sad story ...she looks very sweet. We had two pet raccoons when my kids were growing up. They were so much fun!
