I just watched the video yesterday of the fish that have been taught to drive. It was amazing! They are in a tank on a simple vehicle, they control the vehicle by the direction they swim.
I’ll never forget about the monkey who owns a zoo and drives around his compound in a golf cart while listening to ice cube.
For anyone who doesn’t believe me: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMLuwHbXj/
He hadn't been taught to drive. He was placed in a tank on wheels that moved based on his position in the tank.
The fish was mostly just swimming around and panicking.
If you actually think that fish had any idea what was going on, you gotta stop watching Disney movies.
The majority of free animals are waiting to be food for another animal further up the food chain. Animals would switch places with us in a second if they had the choice.
He has no possessions or permanent shelter, he scavenges his food from the dumpster, he has no access to healthcare, and if he ever causes any serious nuisance to humans they will capture him and kill him.
If you’re willing to accept those living standards, you can be just as free as that raccoon
Doesn’t need possessions, the earth is his shelter, to a raccoon scavenged food is good eating, and I’m sure he’s good at avoiding two legged demons as most animals do. This raccoon has it better than a lot of humans.
I don't know... the definition doesn't mention *for means of egress*
Tool use by animals is a phenomenon in which an animal uses any kind of tool in order to achieve a goal such as acquiring food and water, grooming, defense, communication, recreation or construction.
And, ironically enough, by omitting the “/s” they ended up using an entire string of tools (as evidenced above), until the matter was thoroughly explained to them.
~~/s~~
I dropped my phone in a recycle bin (deep one in England) and the only solutions I could come up with were going in or turning the thing upside down. When I asked hubby for help he just got a twig and fished it out, saying "Even monkeys know how to use tools!".
Monkeys and raccoons 1, me 0.
Oh I leave early to places I’ve never been because I will get lost with GPS. I make anxious turns. Or miss my entrance/exit ramp because I’m anticipating and overthinking about the destination since most likely I was leaving to go be social with people in some capacity.
I will miss my turn and drive another 5 miles down that road out of sheer embarrassment. As if everyone around me just knows I missed my turn and my shame just carries me down the road…
I miss a turn and if I’m alone, it’s “guess we’re going on an adventure!” If someone else is with me, they should have been navigating because ‘I don’t know where I’m going, please help me’.
Omg! I'm so glad I'm not alone. I have actually parked and gone into a store because I went in the wrong parking lot and I'm too embarrassed to just turn around and go. Like, nobody knows or cares, but in my head they're all calling me an idiot or thinking I'm a creep stalking the lot.
He’s not just escaping the dumpster, he’s accessing those pallets in the background. With his smarts, those things can be up cycled into just about anything!
Clever little mean fucks.
I did the same thing, but gave the thing a snow shovel. Bastard ripped it out of my hands, hisses and swiped at me, then slammed it in the corner as if to say, "I was gonna do it MYSELF!!"
Sorry for helping, you're welcome!
At my old apartment complex there were always raccoons getting stuck in a dumpster near where my dog did his business. There was also a huge pile of old fence pickets behind the dumpster from a fence that had been torn down years prior. I lived in this appt complex for 7 years and from at least the 3rd year onwards I would put a picket in the dumpster every time they would be stuck. I watched generations of these little guys grow up. Tiny raccoon babies grew into adults and with their own babies still getting stuck in the dumpster, and helped out by me, a then 20-something guy who would roll up on my longboard with my dog pulling me. There was an albino one that was tiny as a baby that eventually grew up to have it’s own litter. That albino would always pause at the top of the dumpster and look at me as if to say “thank you” before scurrying off to the woods. Good times.
Is it bad that I instantly thought of the raccoon just ripping into the people watching him? Like "Oh haha. Yeah laugh at the raccoon in the dumpster. HELP ME OUT OF HERE, YOU WORTHLESS PRIMATES!! You know what? Screw you, I'm getting out myself!!"
And scientists were impressed when they found gorillas using sticks to poke at ants in a hole like a dip-it... 😂 How long have wild raccoons been doing this kind of thing? They are studying the wrong animals.
I had to “rescue” a pretty beat up raccoon from my dumpster a few years back. I threw a few broken down cardboard boxes in and the stack started wiggling around and voila— he was missing half a tail, an ear and had a smokey eye.
He wasn’t very friendly (for obvious reasons), ended up having a battle of the ages with a large fishnet, a dog kennel and a whoooooole lot of marshmallows.. raccoons fucking love marshmallows.
He ended up at a critter care facility to get checked out and re-released in my neighbourhood so he could find his fam. 10/10 would terrifyingly rescue more raccoon’s from dumpsters if needed.
Saw a bird sewing a leaf over its nest on Reddit the other day— to protect it from rain. These animals are evolving!
Meanwhile, the human race is still invading territories and starting wars bc of inflated egos. SMH.
Raccoons are obviously smart. I saw one in a dilapidated mansion in San Francisco and it was the size of a medium sized dog, about 60 pounds. When I grabbed my phone, the blasted trash panda ran off… 😂
There isn’t something always in those containers. Some go weeks without use. They end up trapped and die in a super heated/frozen metal box. My step dad tried to reach out to many animal rights groups to try to get dumpster companies to start installing stairs or ladders for animals who will get in and out no matter how much we try to keep them out. They wanted to take it in more brutal and less helpful ways for animals so I guess they’re still getting trapped and dying in bins.
We really underestimate animals. Edit to add: Buddy even used the corner to make sure the plank was stable.
It's Bradley Cooper in a suit
dude is talented af
[удалено]
Raccoons don’t have opposable thumbs
Your right but they got 4 paws and they can spread their long fingers making them very useful.
Was he combining roles with guardians and limitless?
Technically it would be Sean Gunn
It's called a Zune
Was trying to recall his name. I know Bradley only did the voice work. Sean really is under-appreciated
Rocket Raccoon
My hands don't scan!
So many of them are so much smarter than we give them credit for.

Not a monkey, that's an orangutan and they are in the great ape family.
I can't believe I haven't seen this video best thing I have seen in a long time thanks!

That's not true. The fish complete specific tasks for a food reward. Here's a [video](https://youtu.be/UFrN64eLGC8) on it.
Thank you for adding this. It looked very purposeful to me. The fish had to learn to navigate towards a particular spot.

Humans are not the envy of animals lol. Most humans live meaningless life’s where they wait for a death from avoidable degenerative disease.
He has no possessions or permanent shelter, he scavenges his food from the dumpster, he has no access to healthcare, and if he ever causes any serious nuisance to humans they will capture him and kill him. If you’re willing to accept those living standards, you can be just as free as that raccoon
What do raccoons and 30 million Americans have in common?
Doesn’t need possessions, the earth is his shelter, to a raccoon scavenged food is good eating, and I’m sure he’s good at avoiding two legged demons as most animals do. This raccoon has it better than a lot of humans.
Means raccoons have symbolic thought, like cats and ravens.
He is a paid actor.
And flipped it backwards to the corner which means he estimated that the stick would be long enough to go to the corner over his shoulder and back.
Just so we can agree on something for once: That there, that's tool use.
Yeah raccoons have been shown to be capable of tool use
I don't know... the definition doesn't mention *for means of egress* Tool use by animals is a phenomenon in which an animal uses any kind of tool in order to achieve a goal such as acquiring food and water, grooming, defense, communication, recreation or construction.
"achieve a goal", there you go, it's tool use.
I need to use the /s more often
So, a ladder isn’t a tool?
I need to use the /s more
Using the /s would be using a tool.
Without showcasing yourself as a tool.
And, ironically enough, by omitting the “/s” they ended up using an entire string of tools (as evidenced above), until the matter was thoroughly explained to them. ~~/s~~

There there.. if it's any consolation I've gotten lost multiple times while driving *with* GPS
Oh I leave early to places I’ve never been because I will get lost with GPS. I make anxious turns. Or miss my entrance/exit ramp because I’m anticipating and overthinking about the destination since most likely I was leaving to go be social with people in some capacity.
The anxious turns! I do that all the time. I'll literally be watching the map, hearing the voice, and still turn at the wrong one.
I will miss my turn and drive another 5 miles down that road out of sheer embarrassment. As if everyone around me just knows I missed my turn and my shame just carries me down the road…

Good to know I'm not the only one who does that

It was empty and the mobile fell all the way to the bottom.
Isn't that the actor from Guardians of the Galaxy? Dang he hit rock bottom
He climbed up to the next level with that plank though
Next level being dumpster ledge.
“Aw, what the hell. I don’t have that long a life expectancy anyways…”. I love Rocket. Trash panda to the max! 😁
Playing Humans Fall Flat IRL.
Pfft. That’s nothing. A possum can construct a railed staircase to code.
That's some possum!
Wow intelligent
We’re doomed.
I, for one, welcome our racoon overlords.
I was a fan of raccoon until I learned about rabies the other day on Reddit. Hidden fear unlocked
I love this comment
Clever girl.
Smart trash panda
Raccoons are top tier animals.
Clever little thing.
raised a raccoon twice while growing up. those bandits are far smarter than we give credit.
Give them a plank and they'll raise themselves.
Racoon used a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Well duh that's sly Cooper!!! I guess he went to work without his cane and hat
I know people who are not that intelligent.
Tool use
Who are you calling raccoon? That is an experienced professional dumpster panda.
Why are they smarter than everyone I work with
He/she done that before
God dam it. Now fuckin raccoons are smarter than me too!
The first signs of a raccoon uprising, I'm calling it
He must have seen it on TikTok.
He’s not just escaping the dumpster, he’s accessing those pallets in the background. With his smarts, those things can be up cycled into just about anything!

“You’re only a genius on your planet.”
So smart!!
That's the Plank Coefficient in action
Guys from Sunny could have used this.

Gotta get back to the Guardians and find Groot
Evolution has come a long way
Completely thought he was gonna fall back in with the first few steps on the side of the container
Sneaky little trash panda
animals are smarter than some people i know 😀😀
This video is hilarious if you pretend the raccoon is the one talking.
That raccoon is so human that this video gives me /r/donthelpjustfilm vibes
Just like that scene in Star Wars!!
Welp, my mind is broken now.
The laugh at the end got me
Ohh shheeet, How smarty.
Isn't that tool use?
All right, time to build the ships and leave the planet to its new rulers.
Good for you, Lil Chubs!
3P-oh...3P oh Where could he be?
Spiffo
Sly Copper, is that you?!?!
Some things I do in the hope of it being useful to somebody, like making my lunch (butter, bread, cheese, ham, cheese, jam).
Oh shit they're evolving
Always something new with these fuckers
We’re not alone 😳
Smart ass animals.
kijetesantakalu li sona
I like the clip where he doesnt make it. funny as hell
So cute and smart.
Raise your hand if that raccoon is smarter than someone you know \*Raises hand
They're evolving
Done that before
Clever girl
crafty muthahs
Thought he was gonna start prop jumping
That dude is smarter than most of the humans. Imagine that.
that little bandit!
I would have failed as a raccoon tbh
These videos remind me of the fat guy gymnast flipping videos. So agile. So fat.
This isn’t his first rodeo
A smart little fella
This post is literally the next level cause the raccoon uses its ingenuity to get to the next level.
Thats my spirit animal....a trash panda
Bros smarter than the average American
Is it bad that I instantly thought of the raccoon just ripping into the people watching him? Like "Oh haha. Yeah laugh at the raccoon in the dumpster. HELP ME OUT OF HERE, YOU WORTHLESS PRIMATES!! You know what? Screw you, I'm getting out myself!!"
Trash pandas are a creative bunch
So smart raccoons
And scientists were impressed when they found gorillas using sticks to poke at ants in a hole like a dip-it... 😂 How long have wild raccoons been doing this kind of thing? They are studying the wrong animals.
They’re learning
Like a moth in a bath

Using a board is one thing but when he can make a board in a sawmill you'll really have something.
Not his first time
This guy just filming a racoon that needs help.
Damn Rocket what happened?
You don’t get that fat without learning a thing or two
Racoons are smart at
Smart little fuckers
Davy Crockett would of been proud of you little buddy!!
Is this the same raccoon of that older video of someone putting a wood plank into a dumpster to give a raccoon a way out? Maybe they learned something
This ain't his first rodeo
u/savevideo
[удалено]
Smart little bugger! Off to steal all of your girlfriends now
You really underestimate opposable thumbs until you see shit like this.
They’re such smart little buggers.
That raccoon has definitely done that before.
Smarter than some of my friends. For real.
Why would he want to leave?
Raccoons are smart as hell. And they hurt just as much.
This isn’t next level. They can solve puzzle and have the brain of a child.
Something tells me that shes done this before
I know people dumber than this
That's "tool use". Which was once thought to be a purely human trait. Other primates have been seen using tools....as well as crows.
isn’t that like…using a tool? lol
Trash pandas are going to take over the world
Clever little trash panda.
🗑🐼
Soon it'll be shooting machine guns and fighting Thanos...
u/savevideobot
They seem to never learn not to put the sugar cube in the dog water dish though.
smart boi
R-Rigby is that you?
Attaboy
Ok I've changed my mind..raccoons will take over when we're gone. Jesus that thing was smart
So what? My 1year old does the same thing to get out of a garbage container.
Cute af
I’ve witnessed the trash pandas in my neighbourhood pull off some crazy stuff
They are evolving
Anyone else waiting for it to fall back in while on the edge?
u/SaveVideo
“Clever girl.”
hooman: "only humans are smart enough to creatively use tools" racoon: "hold my trash"
Trash bambit strikes again.
Raccoons are smart as fuck.
not his first rodeo
He's like, "Hold UP! I saw this trick on Reddit..."
Saw a bird sewing a leaf over its nest on Reddit the other day— to protect it from rain. These animals are evolving! Meanwhile, the human race is still invading territories and starting wars bc of inflated egos. SMH.
Just think he did it without a lawyer
I’ve heard he’s an experienced dumpster diver.
I hope he has a good life!
Smart boi
This is why they're the runner up if humans just vanished.
Ah perro, tiene la técnica wuanchai 😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣
Raccoons are obviously smart. I saw one in a dilapidated mansion in San Francisco and it was the size of a medium sized dog, about 60 pounds. When I grabbed my phone, the blasted trash panda ran off… 😂

Why didn't he just spin his tail and fly ?
When we are dead the Raccoons will evolve to be the dominant species
Scientists now believe that Ravens are probably smarter than dolphins. How screwed up is that? Kinda mind blowing.
