There was a mother raccoon that got hit by a car near my street and one morning me and my family found two female babies cuddled up on the porch! We couldn't heartlessly shoo them away so we decided to shelter them until we found a rescue center. They grew so big in short time, and were amazingly smart. I think what I loved the most was their human-like paws, which gave them great dexterity to escape XD After all these years, I figure they now have their own offspring in the wild, I miss those fur balls!
Bless you

I thought this was all in New York, but then noticed the Metropolitan Toronto logo on the recycling bin at 2:05. What an appropriate filming location... around here they're EVERYWHERE. But only in the city and suburbs; their numbers thin out significantly in the surrounding countryside. One of the few mammals that benefits from human settlement.
Ahh you mean 2:05
It's Toronto. It's ALWAYS Toronto.
Interesting
Adaptation to humanity, the final and most important test of natural selection. And raccoons have passed with flying colors.
Indeed. They span from North and South America to Germany to Russia to Japan as introduced populations have adapted with ease to alien lands.

MrPhilsterable over selfish. nature is the only and ultimate criterion, not humanity
Pigeons, No. 1. Basically all passerine birds.
at this point...once humanity is more advanced we can control nature.@@wildlifeinthecity6085
They are everywhere in San Francisco and all over the bay area. In My old neighborhood we also had skunks, neither animal showed any sign of fear of people. You very rarely saw one hit by a car in the city either. I liked having them around,at least they were something interesting to see sometimes.
Just about whatever the conversation subject Attenborough discusses he makes it interesting and that's a very rare talent to have.
Raccoons are really cool animals. I have family that adopts orphaned kits and lets them live on their farm until they mature and wander off to live in the woods. They are crazy intelligent, cute as hell, and make perfect little lap animals until they get bigger and more aggressive.
with their black and white stripes, they're like cute sneaky little prisoners.
I clean enclosures for these little buggers! If they warm up to you they love to hug your legs and climb up for a cuddle :)
Aww I saw them last night. I live In Chicago and wondered how these big animals find homes. I leave food out for them in my alley, they are so adorable
Agnes Lapinski i want to pet them
I am not giving them crap, they better get a job.
The camera crew and the shots are really good. You have the feeling of being on the road with the raccoons. 🥰😍
Sooo naughty, but at the same time SO cute!
If humans can't learn to exist with animals,
Animals will learn to exist with humans.
Nature always finds a way.
Humans are animals.
They're magnificent little animals. I would have loved it if they lived in the wild in England, but it would likely have upset the already established ecosystem terribly.
Yeah, that's what happened in Germany and Japan when they tried to domesticate them. Amazkng animals, hard to keep control over.
Button have foreskin the uk.
I am a raccoon lover, thank you so so much for this. I must make a correction though. 'Sir' David Attenborough.
They are living the American dream
They're actually in Toronto lol, most raccoons in the world
@@jonah4958 The "American Dream" is to reside in Toronto and dine on refuse.
Rich Pickins is the name david attenborrough uses to get into night clubs
i live in nyc and for the first time have been seeing them... i know nothing about them but the ones i see appear to be scared and gentle.. i would never attempt to pet one, i just keep a distance they dont bother anyone.. but people are afraid of them.. i think this is good so people wont bother them
hundred person effective strategy
stop things before even thought I’d attempt is plausible
This is Toronto. Toronto raccoons DGAF. A Toronto raccoon will pull a knife on you and steal your shawarma. LOL.
The opening establishing shots are of New York City, but then several details are very familiar to Torontonians like the streetcar tracks. Just like watching many fictional films and television shows with Toronto standing in for NYC. One of these days Toronto will get to be Toronto. Nice work using the neon sign of the Zanzibar as a practical light. There is a reason Toronto is often call Raccoon City.
I could be wrong, but I don't think the BBC intended the viewer to believe all this footage was from New York City. NYC isn't even mentioned.
It's the British produced BBC *Earth,* after all, about the life of the raccoon species, and the population's success on the American *continent.* I'm pretty sure when they use language like "the city," it isn't referring to NYC or any one city, but the city environment - from the perspective of animal species? _(The same way a sentence about "the desert" could refer to a specific desert, or all areas with a desert climate/environment/ecosystem.)_ So, if I'm correct, "our cities" means humanity's cities, "city raccoons" means all the raccoons which live in any city, "city security cameras" means the security cameras in any city, etc.
Still, the BBC writers should have foreseen this potential interpretation, due to how much English-speaking media is presumed by many to be US-centric unless explicitly clarified to be otherwise. They probably should have included a line clarifying that the footage isn't all from one city, at the very least. I wish they just slapped a small location name in the corner, so we can always know where a piece of footage was filmed...because I have no clue which cities were featured.
So yeah, I do understand. Even though New York City is never mentioned verbally or even identified in the text or the visuals unambiguously...BBC should still be aware that people may assume it was all filmed in NYC, simply because NYC is such a huge fixture of the most highly influential US media; plus it's the city most people would imagine for "Northern, English speaking, big city with tightly packed tall skyscrapers downtown"...unless they happen to have personal experience in the other cities where you can get similar looking shots (ie. Toronto, Chicago, etc.). ✌️
They indeed look very cute!!!
If I ever got bamboozled by raccoons I wouldn't even be mad.. they're so cute!
Rocket: Where are their guns? Why aren't they talking? Why are they eating garbage? I'm so confused.
We have several families that come by and get snacks every night and they are incredibly smart creatures.
I love racoons.
that thing just ate my leftover spaghetti with sausage
I once saw a raccoon eating ice cream out of the garbage can.
Raccoons are basically the North American panda
We are responsible for this....forest gone and they come here for living...
YES!
Respect
Not on the endangered species list, I gather.
in my town squirrels are more successful than raccoons
Squirrels are also very intelligent and successful town-dwellers.
so cuteee
why arent these uploaded in HQ or HD >:@ arg
City: *Exists*
Raccoons: Hippety Hoopity, this is now our property
A little furry hoard of them live in the vacant lot behind my house food is served at about 4:30 and the large dish is clean by morning.....LOL
amazng
If only they knew how we think they are cute, they'd probably won't live in our garbage bins.
0:47
If you thought that when it said ''The cousins have less experience'' and the car honked and the raccoon was in the street...Like if you thought he was bout 2 get hit
I recommend everyone watch a film by Hayao Miyazaki called Pompoko. It really changes your view about raccoons and who is the invader (us or them).
Those aren't raccoons, they are raccoon dogs or tanuki. The English dub mistranslated their name.
Everyone in Toronto has a raccoon story.
Wondering if the plentiful easy pickings by the raccoons have similar implications on their health as the city dwellers? Well fed but not necessarily healthy!
It's weird to hear raccoons declared "an American success story" when this was shot in Toronto.
Pretty sure they meant the "American [continent]" - (not the '[United States of] America').
Context clues include:
- There is no line in the whole video that's clearly speaking _only_ about the US, and it never establishes a precedent for using the exclusively US definition of "America(n)."
- In contrast, there IS a line that establishes a willingness to use "America(n)" to refer to the whole continent of North America. _(It might even include South America as well, because not only do raccoons live there too, but it's thought they originally dominated in central America and migrated up through North America.)_
- As you pointed out, the video includes footage from Canada as well as the US.
- The specific episode this video is clipped from does not focus on the animals of just the USA.
- The episode focuses on the *Earth's* mammals, while the subject of this particular clip is raccoons & _their_ habitat. _(aka: not US centric)_
- The episode was created by the British BBC...so it's not from the perspective of a US American, that presumes a US-centric narrative, or which always uses "American" as shorthand for the US.
- This video is from a series which is highly scripted and edited, checked over many times by many different people, striving for the highest of quality, so it would be weird for such an error to be included. Even if it's not technically an error, it would still be sloppy & unclear to suddenly refer to raccoons as an exclusively US-American "success story"...considering the surrounding context, which is not focused on the US. In my experience, BBC Earth episodes employ language much more carefully.
- Finally, the sentence containing the phrase, "an American success story," begins a paragraph _(unequivocally)_ about raccoon populations on the *American continent.*
>> 3:03 "Raccoons are an American success story. Their population has increased 20 times since the 1930s, and their range has expanded by 30%. They're now one of the most successful and widespread mammals *on the continent."*
~•~•~•~
That's my best guess. Sorry, I'm bored. 😅✌️
It’s Sly Cooper’s family’s origins!
food chain food chain food chain food chain food chain (oof)
I throw food out for racoons every night on the side of my apartments , I also feed the opossums and birds plus all my cats I just love nature and animals and have never seen them as a nuisance...
They keep making a mess in my backyard and make noises in my addict
If they are making noise in your attic, this time of year there is a good chance it is a mom with little babies. It says your comment was 4 months ago, are they out of your attic now? Mom's usually move the babies in that amount of time. Please don't hurt them. They really are wonderful and surprisingly respectful and polite little creatures. They act different when they are panicked and desperate for food.
@@xxGilmxreGirlxx they left for a little while but they're back now
They tip over trash cans and can carry rabies. I had a giant raccoon living somewhere above the ceiling of my apartment for the longest time, and it made a ton of noise; it has since then moved on.
I still like 'em though.
They don't 'carry' rabies, they either have it or they don't. And if they do they will die in pretty short order.
I love raccoons🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝
Can you resist that makes face????? 🥺
compared to?
130,000 views after 12 years...obviously everyones bored with racoons
I want to grab a bunch of them, bring them into Australia and let them loose, hehe.
23pyromaniac NO. NO NO NO NO. Germany and Japan are already paying for that, don't let Australia suffer, too!!!!
We have foxes to keep them under control so it probs wouldn't be AS bad as Japan.
23pyromaniac
Foxes aren't actually natural predators of raccoons, coyotes, owls and bobcats are. Besides, foxes are causing a whole lot of eccological damage on their own. You can't just import wild animals into a foreign country, where they have no natural predators, and expect them to behave naturally. That kind of thinking is why rabbits and cane toads are such a problem in Australia today.
+TalenkauenTV sometimes raccoons can outsmart Foxes and foxes are sometimes not even succesful in getting raccoons
That would destroy the ecosystem!
why raccons are in the city?
they should live in ocean
I love raccoons 🦝! They’re “super smart”, and they think outside the box!
...and they can climb skyscrapers!
Rocket and his friends
i have a baby raccoon
the worst thing is to hurt any of these guys because remember they are fulfilling s needed function.
if we did not have them around besides their cuteness and effectiveness they are useful in keeping things in check which without them we’d have issues we aren’t prepared for and won’t solve simple cause it’s their job no robot can possibly do and why the fk
would you want to?
this ain’t no video game “oh i wanna play this or that”
you can’t just bring this one back to ‘play’again cause the play you started is now playing you
i love raccoons....:):)
Why you so cute!!!why!!
#raccoonkin #therian #hybridkin
I always wanted a racoon as a pet
Oh yeah we're awesome and we know it :3
I kiss those
Trash doggo is hungry
They fuck with house pets. Just cause they're cute doesn't mean they wont fuck a little dog up or a cat.
Ruhcoons
And they make good pets thank you porno for pyros
lol. racoons
You call it an American success story, but all your footage was from Canada.
Your country's just America 2, let's be honest....
the only cool thing in the U.S
That was toronto Canada recognized the street car
@@mn3142 Don't forget Lick's, Metro Toronto logo, and, of course, Beck Taxi lol
HAHA PAWRNAA HAHAA
Trash Pandas
😭😂
Trash pandas :)
they're just bigger rats
animal expert ??? there is no such word as raccoons.....................raccoon is singular and plural...........despicable animals, all need to be eliminated
and they don’t care really tho they wouldn’t want same for u but to just be left be.
eliminate will soon eliminate us be assured cause if anything we are the most disposable of creatures and hundred percent without us they all creatures etc would be a okay
I always hated raccoons for some reason
Why? They're not so bad.
Trash Pandas
