Back home we're having a problem with raccoons getting in to our garbage. Even with two bungee cords securing the lid, they are climbing in and out tearing through our garbage.

The one time I saw them one the yard, I swear he stood up on his hind legs, beat his chest and challenged me to "bring it".

I met this guy in Finnerty Gardens on the University of Victoria campus. I watched him root around the garden for five plus minutes and never once felt fear for my life...
