Raccoons are some of my favorite animals. Ever! They’re sneaky, crafty, cunning, adaptable, and they’ve got a quality sense of humor that very few members of the animal kingdom can match. Luckily for me (and, let’s be honest, for you as well, dear Readers), the internet’s full of small and not-so-small niches dedicated to celebrating just how utterly awesome raccoons are. One of these places is the Raccooncore Facebook page, part of the Dogecore brand.
Raccooncore is chock-full to the brim with hilarious and whacky photos of raccoons goofing around, mucking about, and just… doing their own thing. Raccoons are gonna do what raccoons do and we’re powerless to stop them! We can, however, enjoy the chaos. Have a gander at the best photos featured on the Raccooncore page and, as you’re scrolling down, remember to upvote the ones that stole your heart (and possibly all the food in your pantry).
I had a very fun experience chatting with Dogmin, the founder of both the Dogecore and Raccooncore projects. In a hilarious interview with Bored Panda, they shared their personal experiences with raccoons, the inspiration behind the Raccooncore page, as well as why the content they post is so appealing to so many people.
“I’ve only lived in a place where raccoons roam once in my life which was Vancouver, Canada. During the two years I was there, I was able to study them, understand them and in some cases, fall in love with them,” Dogmin told Bored Panda. “Over several months of trust exercises in the alley behind my house, I was able to teach my favorite raccoon (DiaryLea) to wear sunglasses, smoke cigarettes, and reply to text messages on my smartphone to people I didn’t want to talk to that day. They’re highly adaptable creatures and we should learn to fear and respect what they could be capable of if the NRA expands second amendment rights.”
I also reached out to Dr. Suzanne MacDonald, who has researched these wonderful animals, to speak about what makes raccoons so adaptable and mischievous. She works at the Department of Psychology at York University in Toronto and is also the Chair at the Royal Canadian Institute for Science. You’ll find the great insights that she shared with Bored Panda, as well as the rest of my witty interview with Dogmin, below. Let’s dive headfirst into the world of raccoons, shall we?
