The controversial story of the North American raccoons wreaking havoc in Germany
Once alleged to have been introduced by a Nazi commander, the true story of Germany's raccoons is divisive and often wildly misunderstood.Matthew Ponsford (BBC)
Sounds like we need to limit #raccoons entering their territory

There was a raccoon in my mom’s attic during a family get-together.
My 6’4” brother put a laundry basket on his head for “protection.” I brought paper towels. That was the plan.
It did not go to plan.

Apparently, Smeagol believes that climbing onto my screen door to hang upside down so she can look through the my doors windows is the way to watch me with those never blinking raccoon eyes of hers.

Had a really fun Smeagol the Raccoon night last night! From Spider Raccooning, to starting creepily at me at my desk, and back to Spider Raccooning.

I definitely need to get on top of cleaning my window as soon as possible. I was curious to see what Smeagol would do if I opened the curtains while she was under the window. She looked up, saw it was me, climbed up onto the sill, and started pressing paw/should not touch boopable nose against the window where I pointed.

Isn't this the most innocent looking creature you have ever seen? There is absolutely not mischief going on here, only innocent raccoons to be found here.

🦝🧠 Researchers have found that #raccoons pack a primate-like number of neurons into their small brains, including specialized cells once thought to be exclusive to #humans and great #apes.
This "neural density" helps explain their ability to solve complex puzzles and remember solutions for years, often outperforming #dogs and #cats.

Raccoons break into liquor stores, scale skyscrapers and pick locks – studying their clever brains can clarify human intelligence, too
A tipsy raccoon, a viral “trashed panda,” and a surprising scientific twist: why these clever urban survivors may hold clues to impulse control, imagination, and how mammal brains solve problems without turning your neighborhood into a lab.Kelly Lambert (GOOD)
Heartstring-tugger of the Year
A scared and wet baby raccoon was found on a doorstep in Belchertown, Massachusetts, US, in June. “Bub” became an internet celebrity thanks to this photo. After three months of care in a rehab centre, he was released, looking much less pitiful.

The trash panda is being domesticated
What?
Urban #raccoons have shorter snout length than rural raccoons
This is due to #neoteny: the retention of juvenile characteristics in adulthood
An aggressive adult #raccoon won't live long near us. So their genes aren't passed on. But the more docile and childlike breed more successfully in cities
Dogs are basically wolf puppies after all
Give it a millennia or two and we'll have raccoons on our sofas
