Today’s experiment is some leftover cereal no one wanted. Hospitality 40% Bran Flakes. (Just buy Raisin Bran next time.) I have some expired eggs, so I put one in for good measure.
At least two raccoons are involved in this video.
The first enters and begins to eat the bran flakes. This might be the mother, who then leaves in an attempt to draw way one of her kits. The ruse has worked before. A raccoon looks in the twice before entering and attempting to steal the bowl, which promptly spills. The first raccoon (?) returns, sending the egg rolling across the floor. The second raccoon quickly steals the bowl, spilling what’s left outside.
The first raccoon, not finding any cat food, checks the area and leaves.
A raccoon eats the bran flakes which spilled outside the garage.
A raccoon returns to eat more bran flakes inside the garage, leaving when another raccoon shows up to expertly retrieve the egg.
