Spring is here and it's COMPLETELY NORMAL TO SEE RACCOONS OUT DURING THE DAY.
1) Raccoons are NOT nocturnal, they are diurnal, which means they are active during the day also! They also become more active during the day if they live near humans, especially in towns.
2) They are foraging more for food because of lost calories during their torpor season (kind of like hibernation in winter).
3) Moms are needing extra calories for their milk production preparation for their newborns or on-the-way cubs.
So PLEASE, if you see a raccoon out during the day, it is NORMAL, Do NOT ASSUME it's sick.🦝🦝🦝
