Raccoons are the survivors of the rabies world. They can live for several weeks with the virus. It’s like they have a built-in resistance. They’re trash pandas with superpowers.
Some raccoons never even show symptoms. They’re carriers. Imagine a little masked bandit walking around, perfectly fine, but shedding the virus in its saliva. It’s the ultimate sleeper agent.
If you see a raccoon acting too calm, it’s probably rabid. But it might also just be a confident raccoon. Hard to tell.
