“Zombie-like” raccoons have made for a spooky sight in one Ohio city.

Authorities in Youngstown “have responded to over a dozen” calls in recent weeks about the mammals behaving oddly in the daytime, WKBN-TV reported Tuesday.

Robert Coggeshall was with his dogs outside his home last week when, he told the station, a raccoon headed toward them. He immediately rushed the dogs indoors and snapped photos of the furry creature.

Very probable. Especially in overpopulated areas. Natures way of culling them out when no coonass are around to sell hides or cook a few. Which are quite tasty after proper demusking. :smiley-char092::thumbsup20:
