What do people and raccoons both do to food before they eat?
If you mean wash their food, this is false. Raccoons have been observed to douse their food only in captivity. It is an instinctive behavior as wild raccoons find much of their food in the water - fish, snails, crayfish, etc. Naturally, it seems that the animals are washing their food. In captivity this behavior carries over and, if the animal has access to an open water source, they will mimic their wild behavior of 'capturing' their meal by dunking it into water. It is by no means a washing operation, they are simply following their instincts.
