bawww so having never seen a raccoon in real life, are they very affectionate? Or is it more curiosity? Do they actively seek out affection from humans or just want to dig in your pockets for tasty snacks? they look cool as hell.

So they dont really, like, come to you for cuddles or pets or snuggles or whatever? Just for food? Does one come up and curl up on your lap like a cat or have they not yet been that domesticated or just not capable of displaying that kind of affection?

That's pretty cool. I remember reading in NatGeo about the domesticated foxes and how it took something along the lines of 3 or 4 generations of foxes before they started displaying affection towards their keepers as opposed to just approaching for food, and all the wild fear had dissipated. Same here if you read the Wiki page about Tasmanian Devils it says they are incapable of affection but a guy here recently has a couple that he's hand reared and he claims that they are incredibly affectionate. Having been with a few hand-reared ones myself and seen how loving savage they are, I find the changing attitude of an animal towards humans pretty interesting.

That's super cool. Little buddy just wanted a warm place to crash for the night. I wonder what he did when he woke up, if he just let rip a massive fart, yawned, scratched his nuts and did the walk of shame or woke up and freaked out and did the harold holt

In the flesh they really aren't cute. They look savage as gently caress. I was with my stepdad once who is a vet and had to take some skin samples of some that had been hand reared as orphans. It was terrifying. The females are 100x more aggressive than the males too.

And they said, 'Yes, he’s the one that knocked out all the power,' and I was amazed.” quote:Seattle City Light spokesman Scott Thomson later told KIRO 7 that the raccoon responsible for the outage was electrocuted and was not the same one whom neighbors saw. idgi, did raccoon survive or is raccoon died?

do raccoons have that same thing as bears do where they have no sensation of being full so they are just always hungry and always eating thats why they get fat

Gorilla Salad posted:Get some floppy ears up in here. Read a NatGeo article about this a few years ago. You summed it up really well. The behaviour changes over the generations was documented well. Fascinating stuff. I don't know how relevant it is but I live in Tasmania with the 'Tasmanian Devils' and there are a lot of rehab programs for them and a quarantine project because there is an infectious tumour disease spreading through them in the wild. Only a small handful in captivity and many of those are injured wild being rehab'd for release. Anyway, long story short but their zoological descriptions say they are incapable of affection I guess due to their wild nature/brains etc. Particularly with humans, but there have been articles appearing locally recently with carers who are raising/looking after them that are saying that newer generations of captive quarantined devils are beginning to show affection/play/approach of humans. Nothing as close as the foxes or raccoons/canine equivalents but stil traits that contradict the species as they are loving savage. They are carnivorous marsupials and severely vicious, but interesting that even these savage creatures are showing behaviour shifts in these programs.  ((tassie devils are carnivorous scavengar marsupials. Lots of them get hit by cars because they are attracted to roadkill. More or less an apex predfator in tasmania as we don't have many carnivorous species down here. THey have a distant relative in the quoll which is like a small possum/cat animal that is critically endangered and also the now supposedly extinct Tasmanian Tiger. Under thread from introduced cats and dogs. Fair bit of interesting reading on Tasmanian devils/tigers/quolls etc sorry to derail Sludge Tank has a new favorite as of 16:54 on Nov 30, 2016 |
