Watch This Video Of Man Getting Bitten By Racoon After Trying To Feed It

A man from Florida who came across some raccoons that looked extremely cuddly learned an important lesson when one of the critters bit him on the finger. Braddock Baskett posted the video of his experience on YouTube which shows him encountering a large group of racoons. The intrepid explorer decides to hold out a piece of food for one of the raccoons which initially seems quite friendly. However sure as tickety boo, the critter teaches Baskett and extremely valuable lesson about feeding wildlife when he bites down on his finger instead. The video shows Baskett leaving the scene with a bloody finger, though he admits he doctored that part of the video using simulated blood. The moral of the story, NEVER feed wild animals because you could get bit and end up contracting rabies.
