They can claw through human skin instantly. ( shrieks ) Pocahontas, this one's for you, girl. (, dramatic, music, ), Hey Selorm Yeah. You know who has really tiny hands. My girl scout leader., No raccoons., There's a scene in Pocahontas. It'S like a beautiful setting and her hair's gettin all breezy'cause. It'S like colors of the wind ( animal squeaking, ) happening., So she's like oh, my god. I have so much like beautiful long hair.. Who am I gon na turn to to braid my hair? Do I have any friends in the woodlands area No. She has one friend actually. Who [ Selorm ] That girl with the ponytail.? Okay? Well, John Smith, sucks.. I need a creature friend that has a thumb.: It's Meeko, a raccoon, her BFF., No rubber band, needed., No hairspray. This was like bllddadeep done., Then she's, just like on her way.. It'S like straight off of Instagram beautiful and I need to know if a raccoon can do that for me.. I don't like raccoons. I have to be real with you. Why You want a little raccoon. That'S been digging through the trash sharp teeth, rabies digging through your hair Yeah.. First of all, raccoons are ( horn, squeaking, ) cute, and I wan na hang out with one. And second of all, I wan na see if this is true.. The only way we're gon na know for sure is, if you try it out, so let's do it. Little hands they're, so small. (, bones: clacking, ), (, whimsical, music )! Oh my god, who are you Hi, I'm Crystal.. I train all kinds of different animals for the movie industry. [, Both ] Wow. I'Ve been told that you can't just walk up to a raccoon and go like hey braid, my hair. ( animal squeaking ). They are way more intelligent than most people give them credit. For. They're kind of like a cross between a cat and a monkey. They're very mischievous.. They can be very aggressive when they want to be.. When do they wan na be aggressive, [ Crystal ] When they want their stuff and you don't give it to them.? What are the dangers involved with a raccoon braiding, your hair [ Crystal ]? If they wanted to, they could do some serious damage.. You have an animal with really sharp teeth and really sharp claws. Like how sharp Between a house cat and a lion. ( roaring, ) ( gasping ). Do they have rabies, They can carry rabies, yes., Oh., (, animal squeaking, ) [, Crystal ]. One of the raccoons is not a big fan of blondes. Guys our director is blonde. What does it mean? [ Selorm ]? Can a raccoon braid her hair like in Pocahontas Braids are kinda complicated, but maybe I'm just that good of an animal trainer and I'll teach. My raccoon, how to braid your hair.? Oh that's what I like to hear someone confident We're gon na go training.. I know that, like death, important. Raccoon, accepting me and loving me more important., We're here today, training with Hollywood Animals. We're about to meet two raccoons. That are super smart. I hope. [, Crystal ], Daisy, (, chewing ). The raccoon will have to be on a leash.. If anything were to happen, we can pull them off. At first, I'm gon na kinda face away not really make eye contact, because that can be a little bit intimidating and stressful for them.. I love raccoons and I hope they love me or I'll - be devastated. Highlight of my life lil', tiny hands.. Here we go. (, dramatic music, ), (, chewing ) (, dramatic, music ). We hit the clicker and feed them, so they understand that every time we click they get paid with food., I'm really shocked that in the first time meeting them they were immediately doing pretty close to what it looks like in Pocahontas. [ Crystal ]. Take it over., Can you take it over? Can they actually braid, I don't know., They are talented, smart, beautiful creatures.. I can't hug them, which is fine. Kind of like they're, a celeb., But Selorm's gon na lose her mind when she sees these raccoons because they're so cute.. No, actually she hates them right. This is the best day of my life. (, happy music, ), Ooh they're. So cute The paws feel like little tiny, baby, hands. They're beautiful, very smart, very smart.. Oh you wan na play ( giggles ). I love you so much. ( giggles ). I get it Pocahontas. This is the ( animal squeaking, ) (, happy music ). Today is the day my friends. We've got drama, we've got danger, we've got Disney., You know what else we have Doritos. Tiny little hands.. I spent the entire day training with two raccoons.. Sometimes they feel like doing ( animal squeaking ). Sometimes they don't., Which honestly is like all of us right. We just lay it out for you all the stuff that you have to do if you wan na, like chill with a raccoon, which you shouldn't do.. First off never poach a raccoon in the wild., They could have rabies., They probably have rabies., That's not true., They don't probably have it. They might have it. She's getting rabies, today., Calm down.. They have really sharp ( animal squeaking. ) teeth. Don't make eye contact and I am not ( animal squeaking. ) around. Don't make eye contact.. They have sharp ( animal squeaking, ) claws.. They might be all like pitter pattering around like eating lil snackies, but those things are really sharp and they can literally claw through human skin instantly.. If you have any food near you just like don't., Don't do it., Just like don't. They're, like., ( slapping and screaming ). I'M willing to take this chance for all the Disney fans, the nay sayers, the raccoon haters. Damn.. How are you feeling, based on my one day of raccoon training.? Do you know they had us all sign waivers today? Even our sound person signed a waiver. There's no going back. Now you got ta, do the thing.. I wish you the best. Pocahontas this one's for you girl., Let's go., I'm here in my fake ( animal squeaking, ) forest. Selorm. How are you feeling I'm fine? I'M fine.! You scared No. You nervous No. That looks like a lie. Mm, mm., (, laughs ). I need to put my hair into three beautiful strands for the raccoon to grab just like you would, if you were doing a braid., Very trendy.. Thank you. So much. I'm using tiny little rubber bands because their teeny little hands need a teeny little rubber band to match. You're. So creepy with this tiny hands thing., It's not creepy! It'S just love. Bring in the raccoons. ( tense, dramatic music, ) ( crunching ) [ Crystal ], Pick it up., Alright, dudes. So far, so good. Yeah., I'm very hopeful very inspired.. This is not church. Can we just do this thing. This? Is it baby.? I really hope this works. [ Crystal ] Daisy, get up there ( clicking ) Good pick. It up. Put it here., Good. Ooh, it's a tight grab. Daisy's, getting it she's, almost there. ( record scratching, ) (, playful music, ) Daisy attempted a ( animal squeaking, ) braid., But she was like I'm gon na start a braid, I'm done., I'm just gon na. Do it that's it., I need a moment of mourning.. I thought this would happen and it didn't. Okay. ( shimmering ) Not to be biased, but I think this is one of my favorite experiments., But I have some sad news to report. This ... ( sad music. ) was bogus., Raccoons can't braid hair.. That'S like ( animal squeaking, ) that that's how life is, but a braid involves crossing weaving all into one beautiful, strand. And raccoons.. Couldn'T do it. Pocahontas this one's for you girl.. We did it for you., Even though it's fake. ( humming )

rich creamery butter: Next challenge: training a team of birds and mice to sew a dress

Hi: I mean the racoon might actually be able to braid hair. It was ONLY 1 day of training.

JY Bong: Soooo one of the raccoons aren't a fan of blondes...... Dammit Thor I told you to stop calling him rabbit.

Tj C: I know some humans who can't braid hair so it was expecting a lot for a raccoon to do it. I was just impressed watching his tiny hands hold your hair.

Ahmoodius: Racoon: *touches hair* Also the racoon: *WHERE IS THE SNACK LADY*

Jasmine Lopez: "One of the racoons doesn't like blondes" Me: "I wonder how they know that"

Yasmin Collingham: I rescued a baby raccoon and it’s one of the cutest things in the world and I can cuddle with it it is sooooooo cute I love him so much |edit: hi everyone yes I did rescue a raccoon for everyone asking it was an orphan the mother died and no animal shelter would take it and we did not want it to get hurt so we adopted it until we could bring it back to health it now has a family in my neighbourhood and it is vary happy:)

StrayPM JYP Nation: I love the feeling of little hands touching my hair!❤

Rosa Perez: "Even our sound person signed a waiver!!" That expression, is the one I make when they same my name

Jaysa Hunter: I love the chemistry between Selorm and Chrissy. I feel like they have a lot more than the others have with Chrissy.

Chrisula Stone: This is great!! I'm looking forward to the one when you try to sing in the woods and attract birds and critters to land on your hands and sing with you like Sleeping Beauty and Snow White

N3RDYG0GGLES: They got surprisingly close! I wonder if they’d do it one day with enough training and motivation

Dot: If a raccoon can braid and I can’t then we have a problem

IrishOne101: Chrissy:”No rubber band needed, no hairspray just blalalalalat and done.” Me:*at almost 2:30 AM* “That’s my life in a nutshell.”

My life is falling apart but it’s fine: Trainer: "one of our raccoons aren't a fan of people with blonde hair" *Me: "So... Meeko doesn't like John Smith"*

Serena Cáceres: Please keep doing more episodes of bogus beauty!!!

Elizabeth H: The close up of the sound person looking surprised is so funny

coffeegirl18: This is so cute . My cousins rescued a raccoon, it'd curl up on the couch with them or sit on your shoulder.

Elizabeth Teo: Crissy is such a mood

Omar S: To be fair, Pocahontas knew Meeko for a lot longer than just a few sessions. Get to know Daisy more, it might help.

tfnvv: Selorm’s braid is amazing!

Ebony R.: This is my favorite series on YouTube!!

Kya Dietrich: I freaking love this series

MiotaLee: I love raccoons! I believe that can do it! Also Pocahontas probably has some sort of masterful animal keen so she probably taught him how to do it flawlessly.

Duck.andcover: physically a raccoon could braid hair it's just more of an issue of them knowing how to and actually doing it.

Wayverlee Soulsong: When one of them said they can’t hug the raccoon, my heart cried Let them hug the trash cat

Xander Uchida: I love this show. Oh god they’re hilarious!

KatieSparkles: I absolutely adore Racccoon they are my favorite animal I would love to have this opportunity! It's like a dream come true! :') Raccoons have a bad reputation which makes me so sad, I know they are capable of all sorts of things but I sure love seeing a video like this to show they are not bad it makes me very happy

lilac: you know a video is going to be hilarious if chrissy is in it

hannah: raccoon: *scratches hair into undefined mess* "omg it's done it"

Rae Rae: Chrissy is so pretty or is it just me and has a beautiful smile lol "I can't hug them kinda like a celeb"

paris: Nobody: Not a single soul: Chrissy: TINY HANDS

Isis Cornelius: You guys are literally so pretty, you too are one of the prettiest girls I've ever watched on YT I'm going to subscribe now!!!

M O O N C H I L D: If disney will make a real life version of pocahontas I swear this racoon would be a star

Ignasio Castillo: This gave me more faith... not for humans but, for animals

Ajith Navaratne: 6:11 - 6:14 was the most adorable thing!

Gerryca Kinch: I LOVE raccoons, they're so cute but for sure are definitely something to be admired from a far unless In a controlled situationike this and even then things can go wrong. I wish I could have experienced this!

Diána Komló: Aww they are so cute!!!! We had one, we fed her, she lived in our bathroom, played in the water with us. Awww, amazing childhood memories :D She also lowed to give kisses and gave a lot of hickeys :D I gave her food from my mouth and she was so tender with her tiny paws and nails.

Nermine: I'm really digging this series

TheSongwritingCat: I'm pretty sure a raccoon COULD braid hair based on the dexterity they displayed in the video. But they A) didn't want to and B) didn't understand what they were being asked to do. I would like to see the trainer come back in a different video to show what she is able to train the raccoons to do.

Frank n Furter is my spirit animal: Cool story: a couple weeks ago, I was at this animal thing where you can look at and touch some exotic animals. (Lemur, goat, weird Australian rodent thing that was super sweet and cute.) And there was this sweet raccoon who was hangin out with me and he kept licking my hand and fingers.

Constant Chaos: Ypu could 10000% teach a raccoon to braid in like a week

Caroline Proctor: Let's all just have a moment of appreciation for the person who edited this Cracks me up every time

Jordy Elize: This video spoke to my soul with tiny hands

Haley Hebel: I legit just watched Pocahontas and this just made my day, thank you.

Diya Gandhi: Me: * wondering don’t raccoons have rabies?* Her: Braid my hair!

Winnie R.R.: "We got drama we got danger we got Disney. You know what else we got?" "Doritos." Me too, me too.

suha: That racoon can tie a better braid than me…

K. M.: I love her, i love her braids!!!

ErosMidnight: The fact that raccoon was able to touch her hair and and event attempt to play around with it like almost a braid was quite impressive and one more small step for man. Lol

Nature Imposter: This is amazing! And so cute! Best video ever!

MEGHA: OMG HER SMILE IS SO CONTAGIOUS AND HER LITTLE "HEEHEE" LAUGHS ARE SO FUNNY XDD THOSE RACOONS ARE SO CUTE!

lailakilcommons: “Your so creepy with this tiny hands thing.” “It’s not creepy, it’s just love.”

V Black: Raccoons are super cute, but I wouldn’t let one touch a picture of my hair I’m rooting for you girl lol Let’s do this “Tiny hands”

Bruh look at this Dude: You should try brushing your hair with a fork under water like in Ariel!

MsKittyAmazing Kat: Just letting everyone know..... RACCOONS ARE SO SMART AND CUTE AND AMAAAAAZING!!!!

J.A: Love it. Pocahontas was my favorite Disney film.

Ceil phantomhive: When i saw the racoon i was like "AWWWWW MY GOD.ITS SO ADORABLE!"in a crying way

BLUE MARTIAN: I love how she’s mixing milk together XD

Ariana Bruhn: "you want, a little raccoon, thats been... digging through the trash- sharp teeth- rabies- digging through your hair?" "....yeah. "

71crm: Part of the problem with this is that raccoons don’t have opposable thumbs, but they’re very dexterous all the same

Trash Simp Lol: I had a baby raccoon when I was six so I can tell you that their hands fell like human hands but tiny.

MiloMakesMusicCovers: Plot twist: That raccoon is a paid actor.

Z B: she was so exited about the tiny little hands

Youtubewithisaac: This has quickly become one of my favourite series on YouTube. Whoever is editing this deserves an AWARD

Cilicia Wells: Personally I think raccoons can braid hair, but it would take A LOT of training.

Donna: I remember when I found out that Pocahontas was actually real person watching the Disney version I was so mad how wrong they made the movie version in my history book it said that Pocahontas was 12 when she met John Smith and in the movie they kiss like seriously?!?

Gleek TV: Selorm: “you know they made us sign wavers even our sound person had to sign a waver” *confused sound person*

Serena Cáceres: Bogus beauty is so funny and entre raining!!

Laura Mihalek: How is this bogus? The raccoon got pretty damn close after what? Like two days? Pocahontas gre up with Meeko. I think they could learn it after maybe a week or two, not several years. Meeko probably had time to perfect it after so long. I think this is not bogus at all.

노문영: Aww this is the cutest vid i've ever seen who would ever think to actually try this tho

M. Hall: I love cute adorable wild melting heart raccoons .

Ruby Lee: I'm jealous, they're so cute.

Maddy Hunt: I want to live her life

Matt Doesntcare: SO CUTE!!

Poop Person: Next video: *We use wild raccoons to braid our hair! :D*

Andrea P.: This girl is hilarious!

ᄋᄉᄋ: I know that racoons can't braid hairs... but watching this video is just so fun

Anna Bernick: Selorm during this video is like: 'I've lost the will already, just do your crazy raccoon braiding fun while I reevaluate my life' lol

Privv__335: SELORM SO FLAWLESS LIKE ALWAYS

Charlie and Hali: I just realised what im doing with my life. It is 11:23 pm and i am watching raccoons trying to braid hair.

Nikol Ert: Racoons are great they can both make your hair perfect AND save the galaxy!!!!

Kim Taehyung: Cute !

Koi Valentino: What kind of calls do the people at BuzzFeed make? "Yeah, I need some raccoons." "Sure, what for?" "I need to see if they can braid hair." "Excuse me?"

Bethan Stewart: Chrissy: You know what else we have? *Tiny little hands*

Mary Rose Fernandez: Who knew that Rocket could be such a good hairstylist?

Mazani .: “It’s not creepy it’s just love”

Gloomy Bear: Raccoons are so adorable!

nels: the raccoons should do asmr

rima k: The girl with long braided blond hair is so beautiful.

Tatiana Carmen: I would’ve passed out and cried. She is brave

MsKittyAmazing Kat: Just from what I am observing from them having not much training in braiding hair, I believe the movie is 100% plausible because in the movie Pocahontas can communicate to a certain degree with the raccoon so I’m sure if our trainer friend here could legit tell the raccoon what to do then it would happen 100% reward or not

A R: Daisy knows what she was doing. She gets a treat either way. Genius
