I know the title is poorly worded but I can’t really think of how exactly to word the question.
I was watching a cat try to find a place to sit that wasn’t covered in snow and it made me think about how humans wipe off snow covered seats or just dirty seats in general.
Is that a uniquely human thing or are there other animals that exhibit similar behaviors?
Literal translation of the Norwegian word for raccoon is Wasing-Bear
The German word for raccoon is Waschbär
Same in Japanese. araiguma translates as washing bear.
On the contrary, in French it is raton-laveur, which translates to washing baby rat.
French is clearly more correct than German here. They are rats not bears
It makes sense. How else could you be a chef if you didn’t have opposable thumbs
