'6 Signs That You're a Raccoon': Louie the Raccoon Proves How Trash Pandas are Hoomanity's Spirit Animal

Way back in elementary school, it seemed like every child in class was finding some animal that they were poised to make their entire personality. There were the horse girls would would jog around on all fours, munching grass at recess and practicing their back-kicks. There were the dino-bros who were obsessed with the spinosaurus, brontosaurus, and the T-rex, spouting prehistoric dinosaur facts like a museum almanac. And of course we all knew our fair share of classmates obsessed with tigers, wolves, cats, sharks, and other forms of fauna.

We all grew up, of course, and now I can't help but wonder… Where are those people now? Well, most animal lovers can agree that the obsession with the 'spirit animal' never went away. Sure, we all grew up and stopped playing pretend at the playground, but that just meant that our spirit animal expression had to come in another form.

Online personality tests took over and we all became thrilled by the idea of an algo telling us which woodland creature we were most like, but like all things in the animal kingdom, this system has evolved. Now, we have an even better way to identify with animals and for one sassy raccoon named Louie, raccoon spirits everywhere hear their personality tests results straight from the trash panda's mouth!
