Do raccoons wash their food?

In the 1920s, the word "raccoon" was immediately associated with a raccoon coat. At that time, wearing such a fur coat was very fashionable.

Raccoons are hunted today, of course, but they must be very glad that they have lost their former popularity.

The raccoon is a very brave fighter and has few more enemies besides the human. But if he gets to people while still very young, then he becomes a universal favorite. Animals live from Canada to Panama, except for the high Rocky Mountains.

The length of the animals ranges from 64 to 89 cm, and their weight can reach 11 kg. These mammals live in an area where there is water and trees necessary for their lair. They forage for their food at night - mainly crayfish, mollusks, fish and frogs, but they also eat nuts, berries, fruits and young corn.

The lair where raccoon cubs are born is a hollow in a tree trunk or branch. The female gives birth to cubs once a year, usually there are 4 or 5 of them. When the raccoon family has to move, the female transfers her cubs one by one to a new place. But by autumn they become large enough to start an independent life.

Do raccoons wash their food before eating? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Most of them prefer to wash their food, and there have even been instances of raccoons throwing their food away if they couldn't find water.

But they don't wash their food to make it clean, because the water is often dirtier than the food itself. Rather, raccoons do not like the process of washing, but simply wet food.

Solidification of bulk substances 30.04.2024

There are quite a few mysteries in the world of science, and one of them is the strange behavior of bulk materials. They may behave like a solid but suddenly turn into a flowing liquid. This phenomenon has attracted the attention of many researchers, and we may finally be getting closer to solving this mystery. Imagine sand in an hourglass. It usually flows freely, but in some cases its particles begin to get stuck, turning from a liquid to a solid. This transition has important implications for many areas, from drug production to construction. Researchers from the USA have attempted to describe this phenomenon and come closer to understanding it. In the study, the scientists conducted simulations in the laboratory using data from bags of polystyrene beads. They found that the vibrations within these sets had specific frequencies, meaning that only certain types of vibrations could travel through the material. Received ... >>

Implanted brain stimulator 30.04.2024

In recent years, scientific research in the field of neurotechnology has made enormous progress, opening new horizons for the treatment of various psychiatric and neurological disorders. One of the significant achievements was the creation of the smallest implanted brain stimulator, presented by a laboratory at Rice University. Called Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), this innovative device promises to revolutionize treatments by providing more autonomy and accessibility to patients. The implant, developed in collaboration with Motif Neurotech and clinicians, introduces an innovative approach to brain stimulation. It is powered through an external transmitter using magnetoelectric power transfer, eliminating the need for wires and large batteries typical of existing technologies. This makes the procedure less invasive and provides more opportunities to improve patients' quality of life. In addition to its use in treatment, resist ... >>

The perception of time depends on what one is looking at 29.04.2024

Research in the field of the psychology of time continues to surprise us with its results. Recent discoveries by scientists from George Mason University (USA) turned out to be quite remarkable: they discovered that what we look at can greatly influence our sense of time. During the experiment, 52 participants took a series of tests, estimating the duration of viewing various images. The results were surprising: the size and detail of the images had a significant impact on the perception of time. Larger, less cluttered scenes created the illusion of time slowing down, while smaller, busier images gave the feeling of time speeding up. Researchers suggest that visual clutter or detail overload can make it difficult to perceive the world around us, which in turn can lead to faster perception of time. Thus, it was shown that our perception of time is closely related to what we look at. Larger and smaller ... >>
