Facebook user captured a video of a woman driving down the road in Homosassa located in Citrus County, with a raccoon hanging out the window.

In the video, the raccoon appears to be totally unphased by the moving vehicle and sits calmly looking as passing traffic.

A woman commented on the video claiming to be the driver of the car.

"Just to let everyone know that was me in that car and the famous raccoon's name is Hank Williams," she posted. "I rescued him at 2 weeks old after he fell out of a tree and momma left him and he thinks he's a dog and is best friends with my 100lb pit bull. He just had his 1st birthday"

Florida is one of the few states that will issue permits to allow people to own a pet raccoon.
