If the lunatics and drug thugs don’t get you... or the alligators.... or the crocodiles.... or the pythons... or the malaria... or the Zika... there’s always the rabid raccoons.
Six raccoons have been captured and euthanized after contracting rabies, all on the property of Zoo Miami, a South Miami-Dade mainstay and one of the county’s top tourist attractions.
The zoo, located off Southwest 152nd Street and 124th Avenue, is home to an exotic array of wild animals accumulated from around the world. Almost a million people visit it each year....
The zoo has posted dozens of signs warning visitors of the outbreak. And visitors are being warned not to feed any of the animals that scurry around the zoo property that aren’t caged, like raccoons, feral cats, even coyotes that roam the property at night.... Magill said that since the initial finding in May, Zoo Miami has captured and tested more than 30 raccoons.

And there is an active and rather larger feral cat colony adjacent to the zoo as well.
Hmm, what is really the vector?
