How Humans Are Improving Raccoon Intelligence | Extraordinary Animals | Our World

I for one welcome our new raccoon overlords

I watch my neighbour get routinely outsmarted by Raccoons. It’s hilarious and I always root for the raccoons.

There is a raccoon that comes and raids my bird feeders most nights. I've named him Rocky. He is hardly afraid of me at all. If he comes and climbs up onto this one feeder, which is maybe 7 feet away from a window, I can open the window and lecture him, and he barely flinches. One time he was on my feeder, and I went outside to lecture him and was only maybe 5-6 feet away from him, and he just looked at me like, "Don't bother me, I'm eating." That said, there are other raccoons who also raid my bird feeders who are more afraid of me. Don't know why Rocky isn't and the others are. I've developed a routine to mostly clear out my feeders at sunset, but there's usually some stuff left over.

Raccoons would love fidget spinners

[@annak2922]

how about learning? It can happen instantly, no evolution needed.

[@MichaelLooney-xy9hu]

My CATS could figure out how to open a locked trash can, and they don't even have hands! I'm not surprised at all that Raccoons could.

We need to leave their habitats alone and stop building on their lands with overpopulation

[@MrJohnnyLighting]

Only way to do that is to decrease our own population

[@deinyefaraine3854]

watch guardians of the galaxy 3 and see why we shouldn't do this

[@marisabland6601]

They love Jack's Pizza.

Sick background audio pollution makes video unwatchable.

[@lindsaydrewe8219]

I had no problems at all with the audio, maybe your end?

[@nwogamesalert]

@@lindsaydrewe8219 To be honest I was not referring to the audio quality as such, but to the background music. Thanks for your comment.

100 years isn’t “plenty of time for evolution to happen”. Why wasn’t this statement challenged?

Check out the Russian fox experiment, where they bred for tameness.
