Raccoons are nocturnal animals that are native to the Americas. Raccoons do not have opposable thumbs but they can open doors and trash cans. This ability has given the raccoon a reputation for being mischievous and sly. Raccoons are omnivorous, eating berries, insects, eggs and small animals. Raccoons sometimes wash, or douse, their food in water before eating it. No one knows why raccoons do this, but researchers don't think cleaning their food is the reason. Studies have found that raccoons engage in dousing motions whether or not water is available; researchers note that captive raccoons are more likely than wild raccoons to douse food. It has been suggested that captive raccoons are mimicking fishing and shellfish-foraging behaviors. It may also be that the raccoon is searching for unwanted material, as water is thought to heighten their sense of touch.
