I know the title is poorly worded but I can’t really think of how exactly to word the question.
I was watching a cat try to find a place to sit that wasn’t covered in snow and it made me think about how humans wipe off snow covered seats or just dirty seats in general.
Is that a uniquely human thing or are there other animals that exhibit similar behaviors?
Racoons clean their food.
Is that why that video of the raccoon losing cotton candy in a stream exists?
Thanks. I’m sad again.
He was given more cotton candy and eventually figured out that it can’t go in water and ate some dry.
This story had better be true Mister!
awww!
Racoon sure got that share https://piped.video/watch?v=eesxH2-8Jlo
Yes
Literal translation of the Norwegian word for raccoon is Wasing-Bear
The German word for raccoon is Waschbär
Same in Japanese. araiguma translates as washing bear.
On the contrary, in French it is raton-laveur, which translates to washing baby rat.
French is clearly more correct than German here. They are rats not bears
Since they belong to the super family musteloidea, Wash Weasel seems more accurate. Definitely still closer to bears than rodents though.
It makes sense. How else could you be a chef if you didn’t have opposable thumbs
