Canadian family in hysterics as hyper raccoon gets the 'zoomies' in backyard

This was the hysterical moment a Vancouver family spotted a raccoon in their back garden and were reduced to constant giggles as it played with different toys.

In footage captured last month, we see the raccoon break into the backyard and go on to act completely erratically as it pounces on a child's football.

After diving and grabbing the ball mercilessly, it turns its attention to other items such as a baseball bat and a tennis racket.

See what happens in the video above.
