A raccoon attacked an infant inside an Idaho home this week as the baby boy was in a carrier, the state wildlife department said Friday.
The incident happened Monday in Cassia County after the infant’s mother had just returned home, Idaho Fish and Game said in a statement.
“The mother found a raccoon attacking her infant.
The child’s father and a Cassia County sheriff’s deputy went to the home, found the raccoon still inside and they killed the animal, Fish and Game said.
Raccoon attacks against humans are “extremely rare,” it said.
