  • What can be more adorable, than a cross-breed between a dog and a lemur? XD I want one :))

  • VICIOUS!

  • how do you get one?

  • So jealous, how did you get one ?

  • does it hurt them when you throw them like that? Or do they think of it as playing?

  • where do u get the racoons at beacause i want one so bad as a pet

  • You do realize PETA slaughters more animals than one human has ever done so?

  • Does he like being petted? Can he be affectionate and like, snuggle up with you?

  • I am grinning from ear to ear!!!

  • I TYPED IN RACOON, THEN IT CAME UP RACOON PELTS. IT GETS ME SICK. IF A RACOON COULD BE A AFFECTIONATE LOVING PET THEN LEAVE EM ALONE.

  • @sparklerbombg LOL well buffalo could be loving affectionate pets but indians killed them and look! it kept them alive! wowee

  • @sparklerbombg i have a great affection for pelts.

  • A raccoon can be completely domesticated, bred for it or not, i have had cats for years, and one year i left the kittens be instead of keeping them with me, you cant even come near them and they were bred to be "domesticated". A "domesticated" house pet laborador weve had for years ripped my lil bros ear off, any animal or human can attack you at anytime, being "domesticated" means you are lucky and the animal decided it just wasnt going ton attack or never had the chance, which any animal can

  • so many people r overly sensitive -.-

     its cool u tamed one :D

  • can coons poop in a catbox?

  • @lordvvs1 yeah they will, but they will make a mess, ours were trained to go outside.

  • Awwww what a cute lion.

  • the fact that this has to be labelled 'Peta friendly' is utterly ridiculous.

    Dumb dongs

  • I used to have a little coon named Boogie, looked just like him. He was an awesome pet till he got old then he got mean

  • Now this right here is a real man's best friend :3

  • @ArticusDK A dog can turn on you one day as well and bite your face off. Even a cat can attack you.

  • It's obvious that you love this animal, so it is truly a good pet. I did not want to argue with you about whether the raccoon was tame or not, but wasn't he biting you in this short clip? I guess even puppies do that. Maybe this raccoon is one of those that could be selected for breeding to domesticate. However, one doesn't see raccoons generally raised and sold as pets. There must be a reason for that, maybe because of the dangerous parasite that they carry in their feces.

  • @beigecamouflage

    Although a lot of what you said is true, and many wild animals can't be well tamed. It is not uncommon for Raccoons to be kept as pets in certain states. In fact, some states it is illegal, more than likely because of the high risk in Rabies and the dangerous parasite that can only be contracted if someone were to eat Raccoon feces. Also, Exotic Vets can be located across the states for Vaccines for the parasite as well as other diseases. There is a local Exotic Vet in my town

  • @beigecamouflage

    But again, you're not wrong that a raccoon can not be 100% tamed. There are risks. One tame raccoon may not attack an owner, but a second or third "tamed" raccoon might turn on an owner one day. It's possible and always does happen. Yes it's true that they can grow up to being a family pet, but it's highly false if people believe they can be domesticated. No one will ever know when a cute pet raccoon decides to take an ear off of their owner. That day will come eventually.

  • @ArcticusDK You're right. You can't domesticate a wild animal. You can however domesticate a wild species over several generations.

  • OMG this is so sweet!

  • A baby raccoon somehow got into my house that me and my partner share. From what I've read, raccoons can be very vicious and feisty when they're scared, but this one seemed very friendly, because it sat on our couch and cuddled with us when we were watching Animal Planet (of all the tv shows we watched lol), but I still wouldn't keep a raccoon for a pet, mainly because of their teeth and claws, just like Koala bears :-)

  • @protectorofillinois3 It might have had rabies! That can make animals act tame because they are spaced out. They have sharp teeth and claws, too, so watch out. Ouch!

  • These are getting skinned alive in China

  • dont let it get too close to ur neck when its older lol

  • SOOOOO CUTE!!!

  • "Peta friendly" not much point in being friendly to those idiots, they try to make the claim that Mario's magical Tanuki form is promoting the skinning of Raccoons, they're so smart....

    I love Raccoons though, he really seems to love playing around XD

  • @hildegain Don't fuck with PETA, mate.

  • I read, "this little coon is fully grown..," in the description and boy was I mistaken. xD

  • thats pretty freaking adorable...

  • Wow, we had a pet coon when we were kids. They are so much fun, like a cat or a dog but different too. She slept in the bed with us, loved watermelon and the swimming pool. She watched my little brother being potty trained and started using his potty. She learned to get a treat out of dad's shirt pocket when he came home from work every day. She lived about 10 years. Thanks for the video man, made me think about great memories I haven't thought about in a long time. Snif!

  • I WANT A PET RACOON!!!!!

  • OMG that thing is sooo adorable i want onee

  • is it hard to have a pet raccoon?

  • i want one so i can name it Simon

  • Crap! How the heck did I end up here? I was trying to do research on the life cycle of a star. Now I have to buy a raccoon...

  • inb4 "hurr you are abusing it hurr durr".

  • yeaaaah kinda looks like youve touched that raccoon inappropriately

  • Omg i didnt know u can have raccoons as pets imma get one and im favoriting this video

  • Raccoons can make nifty companions, IF you know what you're doing.

    Raccoons have this unfair stigma of being dirty and diseased. even PET coons are assumed to have rabies or something. and i've heard all manner of "scare tactics" to discourage people from getting close to them

  • Every animal on this planet can be domesticated if you catch them as a baby. Some animals are just harder to keep domesticated than others, and have a higher potential tendency to go wild, which makes them unsuitable as pets.

  • hey i was wondering if i have to have a license or something to have a pet raccoon or if i have to be 18 yrs old

  • Awwee, it plays just like a cat!! I want a raccoon, they're soooo cute. (:

  • AWWWWW!!!! I love ur raccoon

  • Smart for releasing it. They are truly wild animals and the risk of parasitic infection from their feces is very real. Most people don't understand that domestication is a very long process of selective breeding to choose the animal types that have the ability to interact, understand and communicate to some extent with humans. A wild animal has none of these capabilities and are for the most part, untrainable, which is why they are classified as wild.

  • @beigecamouflage That's not true at all. We owned a raccoon and he was domesticated within 3 months of owning him. He interacted with us, lived in the house, understood commands, etc.

    The same with some of my dad's cousins.

  • @FMAluver14 You might have kept a raccoon as a pet, and it may have learned to act friendly, but it is not the same as a truly domesticated animal, such as cats or dogs, which are the result of selective breeding through many generations to produce an animal that is neither aggressive nor timid. Animals such as your pet raccoon typically never become sensitive the feelings of their human caretakers, and will always bite, run about and ignore their keepers wishes, doing what they want to do.

  • @beigecamouflage You're actually VERY wrong. He acted just like a puppy, he loved cuddling, being held, etc. He NEVER tried to bite us, he never tried to harm us. Nothing. And he responded to our feelings just fine. He understood commands and obeyed them. He was amazing. So unless you can talk from experience, don't tell me I'm wrong, cause its quite the other way. Next you'll tell me that snakes are the same :\ And not every animal is the same as what you think, as learned from experience.

  • That is like a cross between a retarded cat and dog! Coons don't really have the mental capacity to be domesticated all the way.Funny as a temporary pet for you tube though. Maybe rabies shot before next time?

  • @oppernockitytunes Raccoons are actually smarter than cats and dogs youre right about them not being domesticated but that's just because they are still wild and that hasn't been bred out of them yet.

  • My cat is supposed to be tame and he does this! I have the injuries to prove it!

  • raccoon chinese delecassy

  • It looks like it's really hungry for some nuts at the beginning. thumbs up if u know what im talking about ;)

  • this makes me want to get a raccoon .. so playful

  • May I just guess from where her head was at 0:44 and wonder what she bit at 0:45?

  • So cute! And he seems to adore his people! 

  • this is the best day of my life.

  • well if its tamed why the biting

    

  • @PistonDrive91 thats how it plays, they get rougher as they grow up.

  • @claritonclear yeah also depends on how rough you play with them lol its a load of fun tho

  • @PistonDrive91 Cats will bite just like that if you play with them in the same way. Its not like they are biting full strength - its a play bite.

  • @PistonDrive91 tame dogs bite when playing too

  • Sooooo cute!!! Maximum want!!! XD

  • Wow, he leaps into your arms! How amazingly cute is that......He is so trusting of you. Thanks, you made my day.

  • Late at night. Oh no a burglar *shoots* aw it was just our raccoon noooooo

  • @TheMadChiliDogFucker.....seri­ously...you took the time to fully type out an insult that perhaps only made you and your ill-fated friends laugh...sorry to hear that your amusement is easily attained.. i thought it was pretty chill this guy took his time to save a creature of this world...it;s fucks like you that shoot innocent chipmunks in the woods.. fuckin prick... instead of growing up..grow a conscience and read between the line...innocence

  • raccoons carry a parasite that can enter the human brain in their fur.

    pretty much the only reason they cant be kept as pets.

  • @PeakOilCountdown the paraisite is carried in their feces, dont eat coon poop and you will be okay.

  • @claritonclear Peakoil can't be trained. He will always be at risk.

  • @claritonclear cool :)

  • @claritonclear: Don't *breathe* near coon poop. The parasite can become airborne, and can be breathed in by a new host. If you have racoons using your attic or barn as a latrine, you need to be very careful in cleaning it out -- mask and gloves are a good beginning, and washing thoroughly after just in case.

  • @PeakOilCountdown monekys spead HIV but there kept as pets ...well surposingly any way ..

  • @PeakOilCountdown Um, I'm pretty sure raccoons can be kept as pets, my family used to own one and we had him for about a year and half and none of us ever got sick or died :)

  • does it sit on your shoulders and rub your head? a family memeber of mine had one that did that (my mom told me stories) it also made her run into a wall and chattered at her. lolz.

  • Obviosly the guy wouldn't play with the raccon if it had rabies -.- That is one cool raccon! When you throw him on the couch it's like a furry basket ball xD

  • Wow, cool video! Now there's a great site for pets online w w w petchatty com / Come join the fun!

  • I want one

  • My friends family had one and raised it. They never let it go and whenever they would leave the little guy he would freak out and TEAR up the house.. it was only sweet to his mother and father and it pretty much made them shut-ins. :/

  • only in redneck country...

  • it reminds me of a hamster, only more entertaining.

  • Absolutely adorable. <3

  • i am so jealous :( i wish raccoon pets were legal in Connecticut :(

  • Oh shit! Might have rabies. I wouldn't have a raccoon eve for free!

  • Wow this video is too cute for words! Thank you so much for sharing!! -3

  • in a few words...thats pretty fuckin awesome!!!

  • raccoons try to get on our back porch but momma just chases em' off with a broom

  • dont throw the poor little guy

  • So cute! I would love to have a raccoon if there was a domesticated version. The wild ones I wouldn't trust even if I raised it from a pup.

  • i want a raccoon now such a shame i live in new zealand

  • Is it true that a raccoon can be litter box trained just a cat would be? They are so adorable.

  • Awww he loves you.

  • Cute! He/She plays just like a kitten lol

  • Crossfit for Raccoons?

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW ITS SO DAMN CUTE

  • Thats fucking cool

  • My video is beter check it out

  • doesnt it fucking bite? or have rabies?

  • @Socks170 bite yes, rabies no....

  • @claritonclear does it hurt?

  • All animals bite. Rabies? Depends on what other animals it messes with. Raccoons aren't born with rabies, it usually comes from being bit by another animal that does, like cats and dogs and how they get rabies.

  • @Socks170 They aren't born with rabies! What exactly is your educational level?

  • @Outlawzero sorry im not that familliar with raccoons because i live in the fucking uk..

  • @Socks170 : He wouldn't be playing with it if it had rabies!

  • I'd like one but heard they can be a real handful at the best of times.

  • It is very interesting that he jumps right onto you as if he knows that you will hold him. :)

  • yall crazy yall got a pet raccoon?!!! smh

  • it's adorable the way he jumps right into your arms!

  • playing like a little puppy dog..with hands sorta

  • i like raccoons alot but we have a wild raccoon at our house and it eat all our chickens :(

  • they released him? every place we called for ours said they would put him 2 sleep so we dont know what 2 do

  • Love raccoons. We feed 2 moms with their kits and they're super nice... God bless those who care for animals and especially unprotected animals...

  • So cute! Strange as it may be, I live in a rural area but have never seen a raccoon (other than in zoos and such). Armadillos by the dozens, even a possum or two...once, I even came across a large gator crossing the road but never a raccoon. They must be in hiding. ;)

  • I know someone who breeds them, she has never had a aggressive raccoon nor has anyone who ever purchased a raccoon from her contact her and tell her there raccoon became agressive

  • This is a really cute video. Racoons are fun! Good job, bloke

  • Comment removed

  • ZOMG I wish I could "like" this twice XD

  • @TheMadChilidogger i am only replying so i can waste more of your time. you must be so important that you didnt find the time to work on your english and typing skills. choke on a chilli dog and we will call it even. better yet, record yourself choking on the chili dog and post the video on youtube!

  • @claritonclear yo dude. that asshole had no right to say that shit. what you guys are doing is god's work. Every creature deserves life and you are giving that extremely cute racoon that wonderful gift and i think that is just awesome. You guys rock! :)

  • wasye of ten goddamn seconds of my time reading your stupid comment. this video is cute.

  • @TheMadChilidogger oh! you mean you drown yourself and then hung yourself? wait? how did you get killed twice?

  • @TheMadChilidogger obvious troll is obvious.

  • How old was this one? Mine looks like the same size

  • @aattong1 this one was a runt, about a year old

  • This is officially the cutest thing in the world! You just throw him on the couch, and he jumps back in your arms! I love it!

  • my dad says when racoons grow up to full age they get meen is that true?

  • @destinyanna no they get mean

  • @destinyanna yes we have one and he gets mean some times but when we feed him hes vry nice

  • @destinyanna yeah, for the most part they do get mean. some dont, most do though.

  • @claritonclear

    just like humans

  • @claritonclear My uncle had two of them that were runts abandoned by their mothers. They lived to be pretty old and never got mean. The only problem with them was that they were very smart and could open pretty much any food container. We called them "cereal killers" because any box of cereal not locked in a pantry was devoured.

  • @destinyanna

    yes that is true. I once saw a raccoon nearly drown a full grown German Shepherd when I was little. They are NOT to be played with.

  • i just love too se that a pet is so happy for a human! that only means that the human had been good to the animal! you are a fantastic person! grat job! :-D

  • oooh! it's so cute!!

  • oh please...is so adorable...

  • /watch?v=_cWNHl0rKWw

    Saw this video after I took my baby coon to the rehab. DAMNIT!!!!!!

  • help raccoons took my penis! family guy

  • SO FUCKING CUTE

  • I live in SC and I had a baby Raccoon for almost a year and he turned into something totally different than what I found him as. He was a cute, sweet, wonderful pet that slept on my pillow every night when he was a young..until he started growing older. He became mean, bit us, growled, and wanted to leave because of the "call of the wild" was stronger than him wanting to stay. I never saw him again after mating season. A friend of mine had one that was caged up and it bit her finger off.

  • @rmeno bit her finger off? whaaaaaaat???

  • I always see them dead on the side of the road.....

  • I WANT OOOOONNNNE!

  • i heard they get hella mean when they get older

  • it's so fluffy I'm gonna die!

  • Why do people assume animals are dumb? Why do we think that wild animals aren't smart because we can't train them to do what we want them to do? There is also the mind-set that domesticated animals are dumb because they just eat and stand around in paddocks untill we kill them for food. All animals are smart in their own way. It took the first settlers of Australia about 100 years to find a way across the Blue Mountains, it took escaped cows about 30 years to find a way around... (Whose smart?)

  • thats so cool

  • that was delightful.

  • OMG that is the cutest freaking thing I've ever seen and I laughed soooooo hard!!!! If I ever find a raccoon baby I'm totally raising one... I just hope my cats will be okay with it. LMAO!!! SO CUTE!!!

  • Thumbs up. The raccoon is a cuite for sure.....

  • good stuf f so where did u get him from a breeder or did u find him when he was a baby

  • i know somebody that has a pet racoon found it on the side of the road good pet fully tame nothing wrong with it i think its great ...... is it house trained or litter trained???

  • @vinngrizzle it was house trained, it would call to go outside when it wanted out, the litter box in the house was to messy. we have a couple of dogs and the raccoon would go out when the dogs went out.

  • hahahaa aww thats adorable!

  • It looks like a cute stuffed animal.

  • That looked like one very happy coon. Thanks for releasing it too. Many people don't get the fact that they are wild. Really, a great vid.

  • a raccoon as a pet would be AWESOME!!!

  • Dam now I want one

  • You Must Have Raised Him From A Cub! He Looks To Be Very Well Trained!

  • Raccoon loves belly rub too!

  • nice i wont a coon

  • @jesuschrist301 that's been illegal since late 1800's

  • Bitey little bastard isnt he?

  • SOOOO ADORABLE!!!! =D

  • SO FUKING CUTE!!! I didn't know you could actulally own one. hjahhha

  • 4 words raccoons,are,very,cute. 10 words raccoon,awsome,cute,interestin­g,sweet,cool,adorable,act,like­,cats......And also 1 more word.......L-O-V-A-B-L-E!.....­...............sometimes

  • how did you got that raccoon? do you take care of it as if it was a dog? Im thinking maybe get one in the future and i need to know if it is almost the same as having a dog.. answer please :)

  • @judithestherbairluj the mother had been killed and we found this when it was only a week or so old. this coon has been released into the wild a few years ago, we had it for almost a year and it got aggresive. they are fun for awhile but always have their wild tendancies. i wouldnt recommend getting one.
