On May 13th, during a baseball game in Arkansas, USA, Grant Harmon caught a raccoon with his bare hands. Harmon is an Arkansas Razorbacks fan. The raccoon was circulating in the stands freely. Harmon recorded a video holding the animal that went viral. “I knew my buddies wouldn’t believe me if I told them I picked up a raccoon at a baseball game,” he told the American channel 5 News during an interview.

When Harmon went to the parking lot to free the animal, he was bitten. This worried the police officers who were with him. The Razorbacks fan was taken to a hospital, where he got the first of four vaccine shots against rabies (a disease transmitted by the saliva of infected animals). Remember: if you come across a wild animal, do not touch it. Ask an adult for help.
