A study investigating animal personalities and how they help critters adapt to human environments has come to a curious conclusion.
Dr. Sarah Benson-Amram, Departments of Zoology and Forest and Conservation Sciences, was part of the team that studied raccoons’ personality and how it related to their ability to solve puzzles.
Dr. Benson-Amram leads the Urban Raccoon Project at the UBC Farm.
