This paper explores the curious relationship between topology and the navigation skills of raccoons. Using a probabilistic approach, we map out the complex movements of these masked bandits as they navigate various non-orientable surfaces. Our findings suggest that raccoons exhibit a surprising aptitude for topological thinking, often employing advanced techniques such as knot theory and homotopy to outwit both natural obstacles and human-designed systems. We conclude that further study of raccoon navigation could have important implications for fields as diverse as urban planning, computer science, and wildlife conservation. In short, this paper sheds light on the fascinating world of raccoon topology and the unexpected opportunities it presents for interdisciplinary research.
