Wildlife is exactly that, you never know what they might do. But We raised a Ground hog in our house while it was young, It used to lay on my feet and watch tv, I miss the little fellar.
Those things are probably one of the tuffest animals I've ever seen. We used to have a Mastiff that would fight one until he just couldn't go any farther and then the raccoon would just get up and walk off! They can make scary noises as well--kind of a cross between a hiss and a scream!
Cool shots anyway, Muddy Feet! Just tell your friends not to trust them and be careful not to get bitten!!

Man they sure are a beautiful creature. Not to sure wether I would feed them myself as i understand some may have rabbies but i guess you are the best to judge that from their behaviour. Cool pics
This was the first time I have ever hand fed them myself. Probably not real smart and I wouldn't recommend it. I sure got a dirty look from my friends wife when I told him that I have eaten raccoon meat many times and it was pretty good.
