Idk they're just, like, these little fuzzy guys with hands

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I actually saw a racoon scientist debunk that.

The research saying they are becoming domesticated is BS.

All it takes to do your own research is some cat food, they very much are lol. They're smart and adaptable and fun to be around, great lil buddies

That's different to 'becoming domesticated'

The claims about their snouts are evolving to become shorter, their eyes becoming bigger, and them becoming more friendly are all false.

They're adaptable sure, but they're not evolving to become domesticated.

I don't know the science and have never heard those claims, but I do know critters and they sure are friendly. I would say the single easiest critter to pet, right up there with deer. They are absolutely aware that no one wants to eat them and being cute gets em fed
