(39,086 posts)had 2 young ones with her in my yard a couple years ago. If you got within 20 feet of her she would bristle up and hiss. Last spring I was digging a hole to plant a tomato plant one afternoon and I look up and here comes a raccoon running right at me. I ran inside and got my pistol and shot it. There is something wrong when they are out in broad daylight like that. Like any wild animal they are cute but they are a wild animal. Once when I was little my grandmother sent me out to pick some tomatoes and I saw this Opossum laying in the garden, I picked him up by the tail and carried him down to the house to show my grandmother, I put him down on the porch and he ran away. So they do play possum I am glad he did, they have a set of teeth like a shark.
