He or she is extremely cute! We don't have them over here and I am always utterly charmed by them when I'm in the US. (Along with skunks, groundhogs and raccoons.)
Groundhogs I don't have much experience of. Skunks are cute, but you really don't want to get sprayed by one. One family we knew when I was a kid had one as a house pet -- with the scent mechanism removed, of course. Raccoons are cute also, but they can be mean and aggressive if they feel cornered, and they're hard to keep out of things: they're smart and have opposable thumbs. And when one dies under your deck in a largely inaccessible place, it's a really nasty chore to remove the decomposing body (this one, unfortunately, I know too well.)
I can imagine! Wildlife is, after all, wild. Our foxes are delightful -- but also destructive and smelly. Badgers look adorable but are extremely aggressive.
Some well meaning *cough* person introduced raccoons to Germany in the 1930ies, where they have no natural enemies. Yeah, that idea was not so great. I've woken up to two half grown raccoons curling up at my legs in a friend's summer house at the Edersee reservoir (near Kassel where the fuzzies are particularly numerous).

I miss the chipmunk that used to live in my back yard. He liked to sit on my Buddha statue and survey his domain.
