The raccoon is a small primarily nocturnal mammal, adults measure twenty to thirty inches in length, and can weigh up to thirty-five pounds, though in urban areas where they thrive on our refuse raccoons can weigh up to 60 pounds.
Infected raccoons commonly shed millions of eggs in their feces Anyone who is exposed to environments where raccoons live is potentially at risk.
Raccoons should not be handled by inexperienced individuals because of the risk of rabies infection.
