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. possibly not as well as us humans, and 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!
hold going for this video,as well as the famed raccoon manhole cover video from a zoo in Japan (make certain to stick around till the very finish of that one).
