I sometimes wonder if we could breed them for domestication like we’ve done for foxes. Would they start showing brindle patterns and different ear shapes? It’s a fascinating process.

I'm kind of surprised there aren't any racoon domestication breeding efforts. It seems like domesticated racoons bred for the purpose would make excellent service animals.

I suppose it would be many years before the animals reached a commercially viable state, but before then you could probably sell a lot of hats.
