What do raccoons do in water?
Yes, they love water, and will often 'wash' their food, (tho I think they are actually playing with the food). One raccoon comes in the late evening to a bowl of water we have on the patio for our cat, and will put it's feet in the water......all 4 feet, and then doze off, like he is taking a nap in the bowl!
Why do raccoons like to wash their food?
No, they do not wash their hands. This is a misconception. Wild raccoons frequently forage for food in shallow water and will be seen handling the prey in a manner that seems to be a washing motion. In captivity some raccoons will douse their food in water as an instinctive behavior similar to what they would do in the wild when 'fishing' for food.
