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 (April 20), we see the raccoon break into the backyard it acted completely erratically as it pounced on the 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.
