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.
Literal translation of the Norwegian word for raccoon is Wasing-Bear
Same in Japanese. araiguma translates as washing bear.
On the contrary, in French it is raton-laveur, which translates to washing baby rat.
It makes sense. How else could you be a chef if you didn’t have opposable thumbs
Is that why that video of the raccoon losing cotton candy in a stream exists?
Thanks. I’m sad again.
Racoon sure got that share https://piped.video/watch?v=eesxH2-8Jlo
He was given more cotton candy and eventually figured out that it can’t go in water and ate some dry.
