There is an interesting page on raccoons at Wikipedia here. They are remarkably intelligent, have very dexterous hands, and account for about 38% of rabid animals (in 2006).

Unwanted guests...
Woodway has an abundance of wildlife. But raccoons like to find attics to move into. Over the years I have caught several raccoons living in my attic, most recently the little guy shown below. One really nice feature of Woodway is that Animal Control officer Albert Lopez does a great job of relocating such animals (but not skunks) if you trap them. And the City will loan you a havahart-type trap if you put down a deposit, which I did once. But after that I bought my own trap at Tractor Supply.
