North American pandas and animals can also develop 'revenge' intentions

The raccoon is, as the name implies, a medium-sized carnivore native to North America, however has now spread to most of Eurasia. As adults, they are 40-65 cm in length and 4-10 kg in weight, with males slightly larger than females.

The appearance of the North American panda is somewhat similar to that of the panda and many people often mistakenly think that they are two closely related species. The raccoon has gray-brown fur and black patches on its face, like it's wearing a mask. Therefore, they are also known as "masked thieves" because they love to break into residents' homes to steal food.

The biggest difference between raccoon and raccoon is its tail and claws.

This is a medium-sized carnivore native to North America

People's impressions of raccoons have two extremes. The first is that many people are influenced by film and television works, such as the character Rocket in "Guardians of the Galaxy", whose prototype is a North American raccoon, which is liked by many and think they are a very cute animal.

Meanwhile, in North America, France, Denmark and other places where the panda is living as a wild animal, this is an animal that does not cause sympathy in the eyes of the people. They often become the target of chases like we chase mice when they enter the house and no one thinks this is a cute animal.

The reason comes from the fact that this animal often takes advantage of the night to drag to people's houses, rummaging in search of food. Because raccoons are also carnivores, if there are pets such as birds and kittens in the house, they will also become the subject of hunting by raccoons, there are even documented cases of raccoons. that this species also attacks humans.

North American pandas often take advantage of the night to drag to people's houses, rummage in search of food.

According to a report in the "World Journal" of the US, in a Chinese family in Monterey Park, Los Angeles County, Southern California, there was an incident where a panda retaliated against the owner and tore the tent.

It was about ten o'clock in the evening, the landlady was watering the flowers with a water gun in the yard. During this time, she noticed something unusual in the dark corner of the pool, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be several raccoons.

And when the owner was watching closely, one of them suddenly jumped up, startling her, so she hastily used the water gun in her hand to spray them. These pandas then quickly left.

If you thought those raccoons just obediently left, you'd be wrong, and the whole thing would be unremarkable and nothing to report.

To the surprise of the host, a few minutes later, these North American pandas reappeared, this time standing under the pomegranate tree, staring at the host in unison.

This unusual behavior of them made the landlady continue to startle and rush into the house. The next morning, when she checked the camera again, the woman learned that a total of 4 pandas had broken into the yard last night, and this could be a parent and two cubs.

Four raccoons broke into the yard last night, and it's possible this is a parent and two cubs.

On the second day, the landlady checked the garden and discovered that the tent by the pool had been torn by them. The owner believes that maybe his act of spraying water last night made them angry and tore the tent in revenge.

Do animals really know revenge?

In fact, this is quite possible and it is true for a lot of animals. If we look closely, we can tell that in some wildlife rescues, a piece of cloth is used to cover the eyes of these animals.

The reason is that the blindfold will block light, and help the anesthetic process go more smoothly - animals will wake up quickly when stimulated by light, but there is another reason. so that it cannot see the images of those involved in the process and cannot retaliate.

Tammy Miller, a veterinarian at a rescue center for big cats near Tampa, Florida, USA, who has treated a lion, said: "It's probably because the lion smells or looks. found herself in the process of anesthesia and surgery, so when Tammy Miller returned to visit the lion, it was extremely aggressive and wanted to attack, even wanting to pounce across the cage. Before that, this lion had no grudge against Tammy Miller, and his attitude was completely different after the surgery.

It seems that animals can indeed remember hatred and also carry out acts of revenge.

In contrast, a tiger named Indira in Australia was also treated by a veterinarian. During the treatment, people closed his eyes, preventing him from seeing doctors. And some time later, when doctors visited the tiger after the operation, it showed no signs of abnormality.

There is also a very clear proof that animals also know revenge is the monkeys in India. At the end of 2021, a strange thing happened in a village in the Bied district of Maharashtra, India, that almost all the dogs in the village were killed by a pack of monkeys. For almost a month, there were more than 300 dogs in the village, but almost all of them were killed by monkeys.

The monkeys stormed into the village in a frenzy, slaughtering the village's dogs by hitting them together and throwing them to death from above.

Judging by the activities of some animals in practice, it seems that they can indeed remember hatred and also carry out acts of revenge. From this perspective, it is not difficult to understand that after 4 raccoons were sprayed with water, revenge on the landlord by ripping apart the tent by the pool.
