It has always amused me that the tourists to the US that I’ve spoken to are often very excited to see raccoons, and disappointed if they don’t see them before they leave.
Some others I’ve noticed on the east coast of the US are blue jays and cardinals. Boy, do people get excited about those if they’ve never seen them before! Very pretty birds of course, just very easy to get used to and see as uninteresting as well.

Oh shit, my bad.
I thought this was the thread about raccoons.
My original comment probably seems less insane now. I wouldn’t need to pet the bear, my grandpa had a rug, I know what they feel like. Not snuggly at all.
