Wild Raccoon Takes on the Milk-Bone Biscuit Challenge!


Raccoon Reality Athletic and Problem Solving Test. A high-speed time lapse of an overnight Milk Bone Biscuit Obstacle Challenge using a Bushnell 8MP Tropy Cam HD Trail Camera. I got the idea after the Raccoon stole our suet bird feeder:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoEt-dONDKU
I knew he'd get the first two biscuits easily and probably the third - but the fourth and hardest (biscuit #1 in the photo above) - that's tough.
There were two ways to get it - one would be to just walk the rope down from biscuit 2 and grab a hold of it - the second would be to slide the hanging rope with loop that held biscuits 3 and 4 down the horizontal rope and pull it down to within reach. Several times in the video the Raccoon sees the relationship and causality between the hanging rope and the last biscuit. Lowering the rope just an inch or two and he would have easily gotten the final biscuit. Pretty impressive determination in any case! Of course, if Raccoon's had any vertical jumping ability it could be gotten, but I'm not sure they can jump up off their hind feet. If anyone knows different let me know - may be a matter of practice - OMG if they could learn to jump vertically what would that mean?
