This is a short Facebook video of a raccoon opening an outdoor ‘raccoon-proof’ garbage can in Toronto, Canada (previously: a raccoon who broke into a liquor store and a bunch of raccoon hands grabbing from between the board gaps of a porch). Basically it has a circular lock on top that needs to be turned to unlatch the lid. The raccoon makes short work of that, presumably from watching a human do it. That’s the thing about raccoons — they learn and adapt. Maybe not as well as us humans, but I’ve never made the same mistake twice. “I just watched you push on a pull door for a full half minute.” Piss off!

Keep going for this video, as well as the famous raccoon manhole cover video from a zoo in Japan (make sure to stick around till the very end of that one).
