Does a Racoon Fart/Pass Out Gas?

Yes, raccoons fart and their fart smells really bad depending on the kind of foods they have been on lately.

Do Raccoons Pass Gas?

Mammals pass outgas, and raccoons are mammals. So, yes, raccoons fart!

Farts are a result of digestion. Once food has been consumed, microbes break them down in their guts and produce gases like carbon dioxide or methane as a byproduct.
