Some people are more suited to cities than others, and it turns out that the same is true among animals. In fact, recent research in the Journal of Experimental Biology suggests that an animal’s temperament affects its ability to make use of the ample sources of shelter and food contained in urban and suburban areas.
Specifically, the study suggests that docile, timid raccoons are actually best at taking advantage of the amenities that cities provide, and that includes their abundance of trash cans and dumpsters, filled to the brim with food.
