Like someone else just said, it probably has rabies. Our property crawls with them at night as they are nocturnal. We live in the woods where all sorts of critters live, and have never seen one in the daytime. Occasionally a nocturnal skunk, never a coon.

It does not even look healthy. It needs to be put down.

I had an emaciated Racoon Mama show up one June day at four in the afternoon. She was starving because she had five babies, which she brought to my feeding after they got old enough. That little mother became a regular visitor and she did not have rabies, as the next two litters she parented attest. One from her second litter is right now ringing the ‘doorbell’ to be given a handout!

It looks tired, thirsty and hungry - and afraid. I think their instinct is to go up when frightened. Someone should have put a trap with food and water on the first roof.
