We were camping with some friends once, and it was raining, so we were all in our trailer, playing cards. We heard a noise outside, and looked at their campsite to see that raccoons had broken into their food box. The coons were all standing in a line, and the one in the front would grab something and head for the woods.
We were yelling at them, but they ignored us, and kept looting the box. I was particularly unhappy when one stole an entire double layer chocolate cake, my favorite, and dragged it into the woods.
The coons had an epic feast that night. It's probably part of coon lore, and they probably still talk about it, and pass the story down to young coons.
Which came first, the trash panda or the trash can? 🤔
The trash can came first. But the raccoon immediately recognized its true purpose. 😂
What do raccoons eat, or what should raccoons eat?
Erm, actually. They eat trash.
All the above, plus crayfish
And Twinkies.
Fruits are treats, they should be having much more veggies, and you need more protein/meat.
Who me?
Yes. (Assuming you're also an omnivore.)
Also the raccoons.
One single uncooked Impossible breakfast sausage.
Trash pandas.
Cat food, after somehow opening the chip-reading cat door from the outside.
