It seems unusual but is not surprising. Raccoons are opportunistic omnivores and will eat anything they can get their paws around. They can really tear up or even kill dogs sent hunting them, too.

It appears that the coon is prospering on his diet of iguana meat.

That coon knows a good thing when he sees it. Good for him.
Should have stayed in your aquarium mr iguana.

It's rare to see raccoons active during the day.

You usually only see Raccoons active during the day if they have rabies.
Raccoons are vicious little animals and tough......Possums are even tougher and darn near impossible to kill.

What the heck? Why do you shoot so many? I assume you don't eat them? Pelts?

Ummm ....no....incorrect. Raccoons while predominately nocturnal also frequently are getting shit done during the daylight hours...they aren’t vampires for christ’s sake! ...common myth that lots of people buy into

Some people eat them. They’re “the other dark meat”. The hides used to bring a little money. I don’t know if that’s still the case.
I had a protracted campaign against trash pandas over a period of several years. They love to kill and eat chickens. In fact, if they can’t kill them, they’re fine with eating a wing or leg off through the mesh of the chicken coop. They also like to tear up the rubber seals around my roof vents.
They can be quite a nuisance.

OK, so, where do the raccoons get lime juice and soy sauce?
