Raccoons, often referred to as trash pandas, are known for many things. Among other things, they’re known for their mischievousness and intelligence. Did you know that raccoons can solve puzzles? Yep, that’s pretty impressive. While they aren’t quite as prevalent in residential areas as squirrels, it’s not uncommon to spot a raccoon in the city or the suburbs, going through the trash cans or crashing at an abandoned building. Raccoons often wander into populated areas at nightfall to search for food – namely garbage and food remains – and sometimes, instead of going back into the wild, they decide to hang around. These people documented their funny encounters with raccoons, and through these photos, we can get to know them a little bit better!
