Raccoons, or trash pandas as the Internet likes to call them, get a bad rap.
Sure, they love rifling through garbage to find a stinky snack, and they have been known to hiss at homeowners while trespassing on their property. But this is only one side of the noble raccoon, the work side, if you will.
The play side is much more relatable. As these videos show, raccoons blindly adore some of the same things we do, namely bubbles and Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling.”
Watch them dance, wear little clothes, and grasp for the sensation of feeling a bubble pop at their fingertips. You could almost pretend these two clawed kiddos are a pair of teens attending the prom.
Now, how could you not love raccoons after an image like that?
