A friend of mine trapped a racoon that was eating his chickens that is almost white. He has brown feet and you can faintly see his stripes; they are a very light golden color. Just wandering if anybody has seen a racoon with these markings and if it was real rare.

i caught one last year it was pure white and beleive it or not it had a tail like a rat seriously . are these rare?
Are not real rare. I see about 5 per year. that is about 5% of the coon I see. May be less common in some areas.
As for white with a rat tail. They are called Opossums. LOL Seriously, I have never seen one like that.
That almost white raccoon is rare enough to warrant a full body mount. What a great conversation piece. As for that white raccoon with the rat-like tail ( opossum) I wouldn't get it mounted. LOL!
