    Someone called Racoons "Trash Pandas" and now I can't stop using those words and laughing. I still like them and love their little hands when they grab food.

      It's a very common nickname where I live, so much that the big city's baseball team is called the Trash Pandas. The city's nickname is also Rocket City, because it's a huge hub for tech and space, NASA, etc.. the Trash Pandas logo is a raccoon riding on a rocket. So I wonder if someone was making a connection to Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy? 🦝 🚀
      I also love to watch them eat - and really like to see any rodents eat, with their little hands! It's too cute. If you haven't already, watch the video of the raccoon who washes a piece of cotton candy in water. Raccoons wash their food before eating sometimes.. you can imagine what happens. 🙈 It's one of the sweetest trash panda vids out there.

    I went to a wedding at the Boat House restaurant in Central Park. The restaurant has a back deck. Apparently there is a colony of racoons who live under the deck. When there's a party back there, they come out and beg.
    I've also seen racoons outside of the park. I saw one climbing on a fire escape on a building just off of 3rd Avenue in the '90s.

      ​@@LunaDelTuna animals react to things before they know what they do, that's a fact, If a racoon never encountered a human in their life they would react with fear, or at best caution because that is what helps them survive in most situations in the wild, animals aren't born without fear of the unknown, they act in this way regardless of weather a human proves to be a threat, YOU have to prove to a wild animal you aren't a threat to it for it to behave this way, but you don't have to prove to be an actual threat for it to be defensive.

      They learn quickly where food is available. The place and receptical become imprinted. That is where it has learned to find a willing giver. They dont as easily trust approachers away from a food site. New faces and shapes are also questionable. They take a lot of attention to encourage them to adapt to a new thing but they're willing. If it lives long enough it might come to understand their body language. Not every person will be happy to have a raccoon approach them.

      Doubtful. Wild raccoons are extremely common in the U.S. They are used to humans and interact with them a lot. I have about ten that come to my window every night. I literally have them climbing up to my windowsill every night to retrieve peanuts that I put out for them and birds. They're just used to humans. Very very common.

    He is cute and all but a reminder to everyone try and not feed the wild life. You really shouldn't feed wildlife especially in places like NYC central park. Because when you do more will come expecting food similar to what happens when ants invade. More and more will come, which is not what people would want in big parks like NYC central park. Just a friendly reminder. Remember to stay hydrated too!! xx

    This is a cute video and special circumstances because obviously people feed this guy (and he prolly forgot how to survive on his own without handouts which is sad). 1. Be very cautious of raccoons in the daytime, especially if they're genuinely unperturbed by their presence. That's usually a surefire sign of rabes. 2. If you're wearing open-toed shoes, do NOT go messing with wild animals. Your toes are basically Vienna sausages, just a bit crunchy in the middle. 3. Feeding wild animals might seem altruistic but you are prolly just messing up nature.
