Who knew raccoons could be so worried about cleanliness?!
They're usually known for dumpster diving and creating a real mess of your garbage can, but apparently raccoons have a real neat-freak side to them, too. We first learned about the obsession that some raccoons have with washing items from this crazy video of a little rascal who enjoys helping with the dishes at his animal rescue home.
When we think about the most intelligent creatures on our planet, these nocturnal night crawlers don't usually come to mind, but raccoons are actually very smart and curious creatures, and these traits have really helped them thrive in a variety of habitats. As you can see in this video of a few little babies, raccoons can cause a lot of mischief, but some people absolutely adore these furry creatures as pets.
In the following video out of Russia, we see a family who has welcomed a hopefully rabies-free raccoon named Gosha into their home. Just like any pet, Gosha can get into his fair share of trouble, so when his owners found him washing what he believed to be his food. However, once they looked closer, they realized that Gosha had put his tiny paws on something forbidden…and it was just the beginning of his washing spree.
No pet is perfect, right?!
