While some users were amazed, others felt that the animal’s dance was actually caused by psychosis due to being kept in captivity.
One user wrote, “It seems quite chill to hang out with.” Another said, “Yeah, cool moves, but this shouldn’t happen at the zoo.” Anyway, loved it.
Some have cited this as an example of ‘zoocosis’, a psychological disorder that can develop in captive animals.
A third wrote, “This move is because of his incarceration…and it’s not fun.” Abnormal behavior signs of abuse and captivity. I mean do you really think raccoons can dance with you.
A fifth said, тАЬRepetitive movements due to stress! It’s not funny.” The sixth commented, “Not cool. Usually animals do things like this when they feel trapped and scared.”
Yet another added, “The raccoons don’t have a dance party.” They are worried about being imprisoned!!
