4. Racoons
Is there a place where you can’t find a raccoon? I don’t think so. These wild animals are almost everywhere, and all social media platforms, especially Instagram and YouTube, are full of videos showing off raccoons opening jars or refrigerator doors while looking for food in people’s homes.
As cute and lovely as these wild animals are, they can be dangerous for people due to the fact that raccoons carry rabies, which might be life-threatening for humans. According to experts, these animals, which many people decide to adopt as pets, pose a higher threat to humans through their droppings, in which they can carry leptospirosis and salmonella.

Leave the willing alone! Get rid of the people!
Yes, wild animals ARE in the cities!! I live in Huntsville, AL. Just two miles from the center of down town. I regularly have rabbits, foxes, turtles, (no streams, ponds or lakes in the immediate area), possums, raccoons, and small snakes, in my back yard. Along with about 15 different types of birds, including owls, hawks, eagles and falcons.
No deer yet, but with the amount of wooded areas near by, I would not be surprised if they show up too!
Alligators, coyotes, black bears, mountain lions, armadillos and deer have been reported within the city limits. Wow! Such an abundance of wildlife!!
Just a minute! Who is invading whom? We have been steadily usurping the territories of the other beings who inhabit the planet. Clearly the more developed of creatures are now fighting back.
Deer also carry ticks, which carry Lyme disease. Bambi is evil, and it, along with its relatives, should be wiped out.
