Raccoons
The different types of damage which raccoons are capable of are almost too numerous to mention. In urban environments, raccoons are more than capable of finding homes in uncapped chimneys. Tearing off shingles or fascia in order to gain entrance to an attic or wall void, tearing up lawns in search for grubs and earthworms, destroying gardens, and dumping over trash cans. In attics and wall voids, the build-up of raccoon feces and urine can constitute health hazards to the homeowner. In more rural environments, raccoons can be highly destructive in and around poultry barns. If a person is ever bit by a raccoon - you must seek medical attention immediately.

courses, eat garden produce, prey on poultry and waterfowl, damage beehives, den
under buildings, are a host for rabies, and spray musk.

They tend to make homes in our attics and leave a large amount of urine, feces, and left over meals. These creatures have a pouch much like he kangaroo.
