A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Probably fake story but it’s more likely to domesticate an opossum over a raccoon. Maybe story over the decades changed the animal because human story telling results in many fabrications and hallucination of details.
Adult raccoons are vicious and territorial cunts. Well at least the one I encountered anyways
Anything territorial with a social structure (wolves, horses & boars being great examples of successful domestications, otters and falcons for in-progress domestications and foxes and raccoons good candidates) are prime domestication material as the human can become the social leader and they won't be as inclined to leave what is their pack's territory
That said, it takes thousands of years to fully domesticate something, which is why "semi-domesticated" otters and falcons just sort of help out with hunting without being "friendly" enough to be predictable
Foxes are already domesticated. A Russian scientist did it to test what is needed for domestication.
Wow
