Raccoons are special kinds of mammals believed
to be some of the smartest animals on the
planet. Raccoons are believed to be smart
because they have incredibly huge brains.
Raccoons can be intelligent and curious and for
this reason, they can be very hard to trap.
Raccoons are very complicated in nature, they
can be smarter than your toddler, especially
when it comes to thinking fast. Raccoons do
possess some dexterous hands, limbs and thumbs
and these allow them utilize many tools to their
advantage, especially when solving personal
problems (this is why it is hard to domesticate
raccoons, they will always find a way to break
loose).
Raccoons are always loyal to their families and
environment, they are often solitary animals
that can be found close to garbage cans and can
be very aggressive too, especially when they
move in large groups. Raccoons are known to
knock down bicycle riders and even take their
foods. Raccoons are also intelligent in the way
they raise their litters, they often find
secluded places such as the Porch, and the
garage where they can be difficult to locate.
Raccoons can raise litters around your home for
several months before you detect them.
Though Raccoons may have poor vision, especially
in the day, but their powerful brains allow them
to detect food and the approach of humans or
other animals. Raccoons have excellent problem
solving skills, a raccoon may sit back and
extend its hand to grab food from humans ,
especially when the animal has gotten use to the
people. Raccoons don’t find it difficult to
return to a place where they detect food or
where they are raising their litters, this is
why many home owners find it difficult to keep
them away for too long.
Raccoons generally do not bother when they are
not disturbed, even when you though sticks at
them , they often think it is food . The
intelligence of raccoons can only be compared
with the intelligence of the likes of Gorillas
and Orangutans. Male raccoons often move around
the females in groups to protect them against
other animals, and they are able to create
extensive damages that are far beyond their
capacities. Raccoons are known to damage
isolated power cables, as well as the roofs of
homes. Raccoons can turn some garbage cans
upside down, thereby creating nuisance within
the environment. Raccoons do possess some
intelligence that can only be scientifically
explained.
