      Raccoons are actually closer in evolutionary terms to bears than they are to dogs or cats 🤓

        "wash bear" in many Germanic languages for a reason lol

        Sounds really like a struggle session waiting to happen. Are racoons bourgeois for washing? Can we accept them as hexbears also

          It's because they have a predilection for dunking or "washing" their food in pools of water.

            Oh yeah its cute as shit, and sad when it's cotton candy because they don't understand what happened lol. I've fed a good amount of comrade raccoons at rescues and such. Great little wash bears
