Raccoons don't "like" dirty things. They clean everything as far as food when they can otherwise they do the ol "give it a glance then down the hatch" they actually make great pets although they have a tendency to be theives of hair ties and such from what i know of em
I think the problem with keeping raccoons as pets is that they're too smart for their own good. ): anything with such high level of intelligence would naturally get discontent and rowdy in a controlled home setting. They'd feel entitled to doing everything a human does; opening fridges and taking the food, messing with possessions as if they were their own, etc.
VII You have no idea. When I was a kid we once had a pet raccoon that ransacked the entire kitchen one night after tearing through a screen door with its claws. It then walked all the way upstairs and crawled in bed with my parents before being chased out of the house by my mom.
@@funnymeme1847 but they DO spray the fruit with chemicals. ask farmers. they spray them with pesticides so the bugs and shit don't get to them. hell, I used to farm a bit, we did it too. not an antivaxx thing
Why they're known as the cleanest animal -- they wash everything they eat !! Would love to have one of those adorable little critters for a pet !!!!❤️🦝❤️🦝
I think they are cute. Wouldn't mind owning one. Raising from a baby. You know people trap them that breaks my heart. God made them too and they need to eat too.
Kawaii Potato isn't it??? And people villanize raccoons as such filthy creatures. Not their fault that we've impeded on their territories and taken all their resources so they're left to dig through our trash to survive.
It certainly isn't a conscious decision to clean their food. They do this in any water source regardless of the presence of food. The main potential reasons are that : It is merely instinct. Many raccoons typically hunt clams, and etc by water sources. Because this sometimes requires digging, and potentially other reasons, their hands have adapted, and are able to retrieve a lot of sensory information. Washing their hands helps them receive more information. This would also explain why raccoons love touching and patting things so much.
They put the food in water not to wash it, but the water helps the nerves on their paws feel things better, so they know what it is they have, if its a nut, a stone, a fruit, a candybar, what have you.
Actually, they do not wash their food. They have a ton of nerve endings in their paws; moistening the food gives them a better idea of what they're eating.
they dunk all their food if theres a bowl of water near..they do it on my porch with the cat food..they are dunkers.lol as im writing this i heard something on the porch and theres a big fat raccoon dunking the cat food in the cats water.lol he just looking at me still eating.
Very hygienic, for a trash panda. (I just couldn't resist throwing in Star Lord's insult to Rocket, from "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" since the raccoon has the same name.)
Raccoon:
> Eats literal trash
Also raccoon:
> Washes food that's not trash
It washes everything even dirty or clean foods cause they were called water bears

They are not actually doing it to clean food. They do it to have a better feel at what they are holding and will eventually eat.
The Swedish word for raccoon is tvättbjörn, which literally means "washing-bear".
in Dutch they are called wasbeer which litterally means washingbear
I'd love to see a wasbeer washing in beer.
We call them vaskebjørne in Danish.
Though it's not "bear", the French word is very similar. "Raton-laveur".
CinderBH Washing rat?
+John
Yes, washing rat. And in French, a bat is a "bald mouse"....even though they're not bald...
I love raccoon's cute little hands 🐾😊💖💖💖💖
It's so cute how they have to wash everything, adorable! 😊
Your raccoon has inspired me to wash my grapes, too!
That’s... strange and kind of sad...
lol
theres an anti vaxxer here lol
You don't wash your grapes? If your not cooking them you could get sick.
@@chubster3271 There's*

He is so happy and adorable when he washes those grapes! He made my day. 😍

I mean... they evolved to use *human* things like that...
It’s called *evolution* like why else do fish have lungs? It’s to survive *underwater*.
@@funnymeme1847 that's not evolution that's a single organism learning.
Bowen Chen thx for fixing my confusion
@@funnymeme1847 yes
They're so cute as long as they're not mad at you.
he knows our foods are sprayed with so many chemicals. 😄
Meme exlporer wut?

@Some Guy oh yeah I'm definitely not for it, it's a shit thing. we really need to find an alternative
Our food is made of chemicals. Everything is a chemical, wdym?
Antivaxx
He's washing his grapes because he doesn't want any Pet-a-Cides on them!

No you don't understand; he's not washing his grapes, he's trying to get that very subtle hint of grape in his water.
So cute! I love him
cleaner than many humans
Wash your hands before eating kid's!
This video is brought to you by
The Healthcare Administration
and Rocket Racoon.
That is the cutest thing!!!!💕
I love All Creature Great and Small but these critters are my favorite.
He’s both cute and smart!
Best channel ever
They are adorables..
yup they will wash their food and when their done they will poop in the water and then drink it like it's heaven sent..
lol
Humans: Ugh filthy creatures!
Raccoon: Ugh these filthy grapes! Wash them next time.🤢
God gives us some beautiful companions to share the world with!
Aaaw I want to pet him 😩😂
That is very cute.
How cute!! ♥️😊
I can hear his thoughts and they are “grapes grapes grapes love my grapes must wash my grapes”
Raccoon with the PSA on washing fruits we meet again.
Rickey is grape aholic,he makes me want to eat them as well.
Delicious 😋
i respect the grind
Lutka lepa.
I wonder if the animals are as amazed that we can do things?
Is this natural behaviour? Do raccoons in the wild take their food to water sources and wash it before eating?
yes! they like to do this if they have the chance :)
fun fact: in Germany a racoon is called a "Waschbär". That translates to "washing bear"
It's a behavior more common in captive raccoons, but can sometimes be found in the wild...
Water improves their sense of touch and helps them better understand what they're holding
Hey! I have a question, why do they wash their food? It's so cute and interesting :)

Hailey Fong because poison top grape to kill bags the owners farm spry top graps
They "wash" there food to help them eat it they do not have saliva glands in there mouth so they wet there food to help them.
I love raccoons!
"Gotta clean my grapes, what am I? A human?"
I... I just...
*ill give it to ya, that was a good one.*
Obama is a lizard
Thats so cute! Now i want a raccoon.
This is Maria, he is do Ok cute!
Oh my god. He actually washed it
I want a trash-panda too!
Here we call them "the washing bear"
He's a paid actor
Wow these raccoons are following safety guides not even on purpose better than some people
Raccoons: Washes food before eating
Also Raccoons: Eats literal garbage
He’s not washing them to clean them. Raccoons paws are much more sensitive when wet so that why they always but their paws and food in water.
I wish my dog was that smart
So _this_ is why they are called "washbears" here in sweden :D
Actually, they do not wash their food. They have a ton of nerve endings in their paws; moistening the food gives them a better idea of what they're eating.
It has nothing to do with cleanliness; it's about moisture.
So so so cute. I want one
Where does rocket poop? Is he litter trained?
I am Groot!
Ok who's the got dam coon
Does he also do the laundry?
Raccoons do not have salivary glands to produce saliva in mouth to moisten food. Need water source close by to moisten food.
I think so raccoon is well behaved 🦝
Who think "this raccoon is better than me?"😂
When you compare rocket and racoon😆
Rocket...is that you bro🥺
lol so cute.
Smart raccoon! Grapes are supposed to have lots of pesticides on them unless they're organic.
Adorable
Longer version plz
Two adorable 👏🤗🤞💪🌹
@real life terminator
Are you ok with your life? It was a simple typo man, I’m here if you have any troubles.
Remember Kids always wash your grapes.

they no our foods are sprayed with so many chemicals 😄
Is he named Howard Hughes?
IMPECCABLE
Very hygienic, for a trash panda.
(I just couldn't resist throwing in Star Lord's insult to Rocket, from "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" since the raccoon has the same name.)
He's a Doll
Why do they wash food?
Are your cupboard doors go away green
Good kid.
They don’t wash their grapes they don’t have any salvia glands so it’s easier to go down .
Arai san nanoda
No spit glands. They need water to eat.
Fun fact: In Finland raccoon is "pesukarhu" which means "washing bear"
Awe ❤️😂
The only thing scarier to a raccoon than a human is a dirty grape. 🤫🦝🍇
💖
Kinda weird that creatures that live in garbage cans are so clean
They're very adaptive...
They wouldn't be living in Trash Cans, etc, if Humans didn't destroy their Habitat
Cute.😘😘😘😘👍😍🌈✌️🤗
NUM,NUM
He’s washing those grapes and I defy anyone to tell me different!
Can You please give him a Rocket the raccoon costume and put it on him and just keep it on him for all of ever?! A million please and thank you's!!!
