Crazy Raccoon House Party

[JaYfizz0]

thts one helluva party

[Lesbianloverz666]

Awe I want 1!!!!!!

[4thwonder]

the jumping coon looks like eric cartman begging for kfc

[svetlanalupesku]

SUPER MEGA CUTE!!! O_O

[sashamus]

@Mfischer888 A stereotypical behaviour caused by under-stimulation and one caused by f.x. stress can be completely similar. The different types of stereotypical behaviours are often due to the species of the animal, or the variety of possible behaviours in its enclosure.

You can rarely tell what has caused the stereotypical behaviour, and no matter how great a zookeeper you are, you'll NEVER be able to tell the precise reason from a 51 sek. movie clip, of the behaviour only.

[sashamus]

@snarsh90 And how would you know about the treats? I've been working with racoons for over three years, and I can tell the difference between a racoon reaching for a treat, and a racoon performing stereotypical behaviour! A Racoon would very rarely jump like that for food, because it's not really part of their natural behaviour. They would climb for it instead.

[calmtides]

YES MAKE OUT GROUP IN THE BACK!!!!!!!

[fruitymonster35]

i have a racoon....... percy

[Buyinos]

why are they doing that?

[lionmaster333]

@Buyinos the one on the right just got that big promotion he'd been waiting for

[dlminier]

Can't figure out what the attraction is for them to keep coming down my chimney. Nothing for them there, but now a trap. ;) When the weather calms, a screen will be placed up there to prevent all critters from entering!

[MrGoodOmens]

I instantly thought of a drug and orgy party

[MissLatinBeauty]

This is not funny. The raccoons are behaving that way because they aren't being treated propperly, they are suffering. That is animal abuse. It

[joepower1234567890]

I GOT BIG BOOTY B...raccouns....

[evapo777]

hey PETA!

[Lionel0008]

[Pinkgorgeousprincess]

I can´t stop smiling...

[Rokalacs]

This is just priceless :D

[ziting87]

I wish I could get down that well on the dancefloor . .I need to get me some of that stereotypy

[TheAlexis4444]

Are they free to get out and walk around.. looks like they are frustrated. Otherwise, cute furballs.

[raccooneyes55]

Aw, I hope they were free to roam around and things. Cute, though, but...

[sashamus]

That is so sad. It's a sterotype behavior wich is caused by under stimulation. :( Theese animals are suffering! And I know, I'm a zoo keeper..

[lovethe1wolves]

agreed. I saw an animal losing his mind when I visited a small zoo.  I totally forget what the animal was now. So long ago. His enclosure was too small. I was heartbraking.

[kitkat9110]

@sashamus sure they are

[Mfischer888]

@sashamus Zookeepers would be able to differentiate between stereotypical behavior caused by under-stimulation and stereotype behavior wich is caused by a similar source.

And I know, I'm a grammar nazi.

[GoldieGlitters]

@sashamus Yes, it's sad. What's even more sad is the millions of wild animals being kept as prisoners in zoos for human pleasure. Sad!

[MrJishjashjosh]

@GoldieGlitters how very ignorant. A lot of zoo's are there to protect endangered animals from extinction in the wild. The fact they are open to the public is because they need money to help look after them.

[elstoner666]

@MrJishjashjosh A zoo serves no such purpose, sanctuaries serve that purpose. Zoos for the large part have no conversational use, because they breed animals without the intention of reintroducing them into the wild. Instead they keep animals in enclosures which provide nothing near as much stimulation as they require. Zoos are prisons for animals, it is not ignorant to say so, it's more ignorant to disagree, because it shows you're forming an opinion without researching the information.

[mastermalpass]

@elstoner666 What about Zoos like one of Chicago's and the UK's Paignton Zoo, where Animals are kept in their natural environment - or an environment as close as possible?

[hinsei]

@elstoner666 actually many zoos have animals that are rescues. they would be dead otherwise. i know the baltimore zoo has mostly rescues, as well as the national aquarium

[MIKEORELSE]

@sashamus lol you're a faggot

[DanielleMarie90]

@sashamus :( not good

[sashamus]

@DanielleMarie90 No.. :(

[cheifinondogia]

@sashamus whats that?? understimulation i mean.

[sashamus]

@cheifinondogia Understimulation is when the animals get ''bored'' (to use a human term) due to their natural needs not being satisfied (their enclosure might be too small, their food too easily collected (in nature animals use a lot of time foraging (looking for food), maybe the animals are stressed, and so on). They react by doing their stereotypical behaviors (in this case, jumping and 'walking' up the walls), beacause this releases dopamine in their brains, which is a very satisfying feeling

[snarsh90]

@sashamus there not suffering he put some type of treat out of there reach and there trying to get to it.

[huhubro]

Dirty blacks keeping racoons in their backyards so they can steal shiny objects from working white neighbours.

[woxow]

raccoon madhouse :P.

[LukaszekZLO]

I love this animals! :D haha zajebiste są!

[malaspuzvicalnakrpa]

They scratch their bellies.

[brmadman4455]

WTF are they doing lol!!!

[lovethe1wolves]

losing their grip.

[immortalx50]

wtf are they doin?

[lindakaldani]

The two in the back are making out...lol

[Edea161090]

very beautiful!! so cutie!!

[hejsanemil]

kick as movie! :D

[WinternightTragedies]

crack and gang bang party haha

[qwertisdirty]

WTF?

[balmung666]

D: ... thats not funny .... u.u

[shadowflar3]

This is a common phenomenon among all animals living in captivity especially when they don't have enough space.

Check wikipedia under "Stereotypy" before you have your laughs.

[everyonedoesit2]

Irrelevant. They're not kept in that all the time, they're free to get out and wander around any time they like.

[shadowflar3]

I'm sure there's a somewhat larger cage around the shown box but its still captivity. I'm no activist hippie but still the symptoms are clearly indicating their condition. Laughing at this is the same as people laughing at a person having an epilepsy seizure. I don't blame them since it may understandably appear funny to some people, it's just a matter of ignorance that can be fixed.

[Huggy13ear]

Sounds like you had a bad day

[shadowflar3]

Yeah it was a horrible one and I still managed to be more observant than you and realize the cause of the behavior. Touché.

If you want to argue about the validity of my point be my guest but you have to come up with something better than that.

Like I already said I don't blame anyone for laughing at this not knowing it's a sickness, but I hope you'd stop when you understand their condition.

[Huggy13ear]

Are you still talking about raccoon psychology?

[shadowflar3]

Yeah I'm waiting for you at our topic. Maybe you want to say something on the subject instead of badmouthing other people?

[Huggy13ear]

Did I hurt your feelings?

[shadowflar3]

Did I hurt your intellect?

[johnson2324]

you cannot hurt intellect, you can hurt feelings.

[raccoony89]

They're just marking their territory o.O And I think this is the place where they sleep. Raccoons like tiny places where they can cuddle up to each other. Of course there has to be a bigger enclosure around...

[armystrong8808]

what ever there smoking...man i want some :D

[Mulkkkku]

classic dance moves

[Hintzmas]

where did they get the X

[APOEL93B]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[KingoftheGods123]

guess they really like wood.

[garycalgary]

i think they are scratching themselves or hopping up and down in anticipation of the 2010 winter olympics because they are so excited.

haha

[FreeHeathen]

racoons make great domesticated pets - but they are more intelligent than a cat, and that can cause problems

[homerfromhelI]

they are more intelligent than a cat

well this vid certainly proves that >:D

[johnson2324]

well, lol lol, this videos doesn't prove that, but they are more intelligent anyway.

[Laevi1337]

@johnson2324 this shows intelligence actually

[DanRaccoon]

A turnip is more intelligent than a cat :p

[kentokhromatic]

Wow, why do they jump around like that?

[lizbeth8802]

They on crak!!!!

[lizbeth8802]

Hahaha

[Housera69]

OMG!!

[EyesAreOpen07]

The one on the right is doing aerobics.

[gage1232]

[kam1kaz3kid]

F22222

[CreamyMcGee]

[raccoony89]

So damn cute :D Raccoonparty!!! *jump jump*

[BellamysMuse]

they have gone crazy. literally.

[V4zilious1]

STUMBLE

[squirrelluver357]

loved it!

[chelsinger]

I'm guessing someone put some MDMA in their water dish.

[pinkkowala]

reminds me of my younger days

[pooohz]

I LOVE IT!

[Grishnam]

Raccoons have always been strange...

[anyadse]

It's a ritual i knew! Awesome, my fav vid :D .

[mintucola]

at first i thought they were just leaving their scent on the wall. ya know marking their territory or leaving theire "business card"? like cats do..especially if the spot theire marking already has someone elses mark which they are interested in...

but then again i dont know how raccoons are supposed to act.

[uglyguitarman]

That black one's got some crazy moves!

[MikEsTAr421]

LoL Hell Yea

[m4nt44]

lol yes he does

[maniolators]

YES!

[kdspuhler]

haha funniest shit on youtube

[anyadse]

xDDDDDDDDDDDD

[SDArtNut]

These poor animals are being tortured by being confined in too small a cage. When zoo animals pace in their cages they are doing the same thing.

[Estra1974]

They are not in a cage. They're in an open wooden crate, and are capable of getting out if they want to.

[shiimshiim]

where is the cage?

[SanDiegoArtNut]

If they are in an open enclosure that's great. From what was visible in the video it looked like they were pretty closed in. Sorry for making a bad assumption.

[Vampire65666]

i lol'd hahaha hilarious.

[bukottmernok]

This is simple. They are high on methylen-dioxy-methamphetamine­s (Extasy).

[ldentity95]

...

[mmonnerat]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkk agarra o guaxinin soltaro o guaxinin agarra o guaxinin soltaro o guaxinin...

ps: they are scratching their bellies and chest not really on drugs, u dumbasses

[andrea3063]

RACCOON HOUSE PARTY ROCKS!!!

[kevincostner14]

someone gave these raccoons drugs because they are bugging out or something

[breambusta]

What is happening right now?

[hearypooper]

reminds me when i was a teenager

[treokimow]

its a raccon orgy, the two standing up r practicing lol

[biudsbiribiubu]

Wtf??????? Crazy Animals... =S

[cathycothy]

frita, guaxinim!

[hearypooper]

zoo zoo zoo zoo zoo

makes you nuts.

[AnyaInWonderland]

Ha!! So cute! This is on D.Y.O.G too, isn't it?? My bf showed it to me. Its awesome.

[guitarhero3lol]

stole my idea wtf a hole

[danielsazaki]

Lucy in the Skyyy.....

[carocoxd]

lsd!

[fALcon1603]

lol

[SkillersPwn]

Whats the song anybody know?

[LiveBreatheMusic]

The song is just stock music I found in GarageBand. It's called Breakbeat. This is the long version. I'm not sure if it came with GarageBand or Soundtrack Pro, but if you have a Mac, you can go through the Jingles and look for it.

[ilySUNNYsky]

lmao these guys rock!

[bnkrmike24]

just like in those rap music club videos where the horny fuckers are always lip-locked on the couch while the semi-naked chicks are busy grinding and bootyshaking along the walls.

[pmoney070783]

This is what happens when you through out your unfinished bottle of liquors..lol

[TheDizzy550]

i think this is GREAT!:D

[Lisamm999]

It is enclosed somehow-normal raccoons in there own environment don't engage in neurotic behavior like that, I'm a volunteer with Animal Control and i've got a family of 6 that hang out in my backyard everynight. It could be some sort of mesh, or that this little "house" is part of a larger enclosure. The film is a little grainy so it could easily be some sort of mesh. THey definitely cannot leave if they want.

[gabe228]

there's no mesh

you can see them stick their head out pass the opening, maybe they r scratching their belly, while the ones in the back are humping and making babies

[AnyaInWonderland]

And????

[Lisamm999]

All this is is emotional torture set to music.

[Lisamm999]

I agree, this video broke my heart. This is an example of how animals act when they are not able to exhibit their natural behaviors and are sentenced to cruel confinement, unable to move about, run, hunt for food, etc. I'm sure a human would do the same thing. This is tragic and cruel~there is absolutely no humor in this. I hope whoever posted it has a change of heart and goes and sets them free.

[DanielAvilaAGT]

i agree, i feel that same way too!

thats why i let my bryd free to go cause i noticed time was passing by and it was just there in the byrd cell, so i let if free, not dogs or CATS, CAUSE AT LEAST THEY CAN RUN AND BE THEMSELVES, but when its smaller, no way jose!

[jendc12]

Thats not a cage tho u can clearly see its open they could leave if they want. Their probably just cold

[cathycothy]

friiiiiiiiita guaxinim! XD

[marenonline]

This video saddens me ... Happy raccoons won't behave like this ! Looks like they're neurotic, cause: boredom.

In captivity they will need an enclosure that's sufficiently interesting for them: a (hollow) tree (or some huge logs), a pond (raccoons love to play with water), sand/earth, and some 'toys' (a carton box for them to vandalise) are basic requirements.

[ireneshusband]

Which behaviours in particular do you think are neurotic? (I'm not saying you're wrong btw; I just want to be well-informed.)

[marenonline]

@ ireneshusband:

My remark on neurotic behaviour: especially this repetitive jumping, like in a self-induced trance, self-hypnosis.

A both fysical and mentally healthy raccoon won't behave like this.

PS: raccoons not just cute, but amazing animals ! - they were part of my 'household' for 30 years. From my point of view: if you 'adopt' a raccoon (or any animal), it's your responsibility to provide them with something more than just food ... Boredom is killing ...

[ireneshusband]

I thought this video was funny but not any more. You're right. I used to have raccoons where I used to live in Canada and they only did three things: 1. pass through 2. look for things (e.g. earthworms) 3. look at you curiously. Sounds like a dancing raccoon is about as happy as a dancing bear. I have no doubt that a well run and properly equipped zoo can keep raccoons happy, but not this zoo by the looks of things.

[ddeathstar]

SO cute :DDDD

[gthreesix]

Who thinks they need a disco ball XD

[ChristianjobPH]

Thry are so cute animals,

[sugarhana]

god, there's always a couple eating their faces off at house parties!

[daush]

hahah! the right one ---> xD

[matthewhowardwolf]

which right one? the right one goes to the left and the left one goes to the right.

[ireneshusband]

Why are their tails so short?

[cathycothy]

because they are obesed

[politegangsta]

All they need now are some glow sticks!

[nin10do1982]

the raccoons in the back are huddled around each other smoking pot :P

[glowbunny]

i had the same idea for this a while back in a petstore... see the video response. if i could only pull moves like that on the dance floor.

[veganrme]

these animals are trapped, not funny

[EeFx71]

In the sense that they're in a zoo, yeah, but they're not actually looking for a way out, simply scratching themselves against the walls. As for them being trapped in a zoo, that doesn't sound like a horrible existence compared to their existence elsewhere.

[anodesjoinops]

you mean a zoo/prison doesn't sound horrible as 'compared to their existence free in their natural environment'? or what exactly?

[EeFx71]

I mean a sheltered environment where they're guaranteed enough meals to put on weight, clean water, enough space to move around (that is just a house for protection from elements, it's not a cage), and protection from both predators and automobiles sounds better than what a natural environment would have to offer them. What are they unable to do in there? Roam a greater area? Catch a flight to Egypt and be reunited with their great lost love before being put in the "pen" by the "man"? Bam.

[grouchosuave]

'Sides, raccoons are straight up hustlers. They'd steal your rims while you were rollin'if they knew a good fence with cash in hand. They scored 3 hots and cot. Ka ching!!

[ireneshusband]

@EeFx71: Basically I agree with you, though I would also add that intelligent animals like racoons need to be occupied and stimulated. For instance bears are much happier if they have to snuffle through a pile of logs to find their food than if it is presented to them in a bowl. Raccoons, as grouchosuave has already hinted, obviously need a getaway car and a Swiss bank account, and any good zoo will provide this.

[Sawsome]

they're not trapped you moron, watch again

[kaizaluktarbaiZ]

i bleev they r trippin balls

[badjuk]

Edyta zrobiła byś taką imprezę u siebie... co? ;))))

[Talon4002]

what the heck is this? it's hilarious

[zavatone]

Want that song.
