Good information. I've seen healthy skunks doing business
during daylight hours from time-to-time, but never a
raccoon. A raccoon seen in broad daylight must be presumed
rabid until proven otherwise.


no true. mothers with babies frequently are about during the
day, as they have to hunt when the kits are sleeping (same
with skunks & foxes). seeing normally nocturnal animals out &
about during the day in spreing is not unusual, nor
necessarily cause for alarm (assuming that it looks healthy &
isn't acting otherwise strangely)
