One big takeaway of searching for content for this Animals Solving Puzzles series: It’s interesting how intelligent scavenging animals are.

According to this BBC video, “research has shown that [raccoons] can even remember how to open different locks after more than a year.”

A cute raccoon with a question mark over its head.

But… their gamemasters will still show them how to operate a directional lock every single time. 🙃
