Never underestimate the intelligence of raccoons! Raccoons are famous for their problem-solving skills, excellent night vision and incredible climing skills. Their faces resemble masks because they are used as way to identify one another.
Raccoons are quite intelligent. In fact, they have the same amount of brain neurons as dogs! Neurons inside your brain send motor commands to muscles and receive sensory input from the world. No wonder this dynamic duo was able to find their way to the almond-flavored cookies!
Raccoons are nocturnal, but they can sometimes be found during daylight hours. Nocturnal means being active at night. So when you saw the two wandering around at night, they were not pulling an all-nighter. For the pair, it was nothing out of the ordinary!
