This is the moment a raccoon in Concord stood on its hind legs and started begging a Californian man for food.

The brazen animal attempts to grab the filmer's brownies out of his hand before quickly scampering away.

The filmer, @kirby_louis on Instagram, told Newsflare: "There are, I’m guessing, about 6-10 raccoons in the area. If you have food on you, they’ll show up haha just depends on how long you have the food/how far away one of them is. This one just happened to be there when we showed up.

"We never try to harm them and always give them something if we have it, so they are used to humans and will sit wait and 'ask' for food like in the videos I posted."

This encounter happened in October 2019.

A raccoon wanted some food I was holding. It wasn’t afraid because we usually always give something when we see a raccoon come around.
