The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention has identified a rabid raccoon in Cape Elizabeth. It’s unclear where or when that raccoon was spotted, but the agency is reminding folks about rabies safety, such as avoiding wildlife, especially if an animal seems to be acting irregularly, and to get your pets vaccinated for rabies. Rabies in wild animals is common in Maine and is most often found in raccoons, skunks, foxes, and bats.
