A Raccoon in my backyard

Looks how cute he/she is:  


From WIKI
Raccoons do not normally attack humans. They are shy, intelligent animals that usually avoid people. However, attacks can happen in specific situations:
When raccoons might attack
  • Rabies or disease ????
    Rabid raccoons may act aggressively, approach humans, or attack without provocation.
  • Cornered or threatened
    If a raccoon feels trapped, it may bite or scratch to defend itself.
  • Protecting young
    A mother raccoon defending her kits can be aggressive.
  • Habituation to humans
    Raccoons that are fed by people may lose fear and behave aggressively if food is expected.

How dangerous are raccoon attacks?
  • Serious attacks are very uncommon
  • Most incidents involve bites or scratches
  • The main risk is rabies, not physical strength
  • In North America, raccoons are one of the primary rabies carriers

What to do if you encounter a raccoon
  • Do not feed it
  • Keep distance and do not corner it
  • Make noise and back away slowly
  • If it acts strangely (staggering, daytime aggression), contact animal control

Bottom line
Raccoons are not aggressive toward humans by nature. Attacks are exceptional and usually linked to illness, fear, or human behavior. Treat them as wild animals, not pets, and problems are very unlikely.
If you want, I can also explain how raccoon attacks compare to dogs, coyotes, or foxes, or what to do after a bite.
